Largely because of its relationship with phrenology, **craniometry** came into disfavor among scientists and was essentially discarded. Craniometry focused on measuring the size and shape of skulls to derive insights about human intelligence, personality, and other traits—a notion foundational to the pseudoscience of phrenology. When phrenology was discredited, craniometry also lost its scientific credibility.
