What is psychometry definition?

Psychometry is a form of extrasensory perception (ESP) that involves the ability to read information from inanimate objects and physical possessions. It is also known as object reading or token object reading. Typically, someone with psychometric ability can hold an object, such as a piece of jewelry or a photograph, and gain impressions or insights about the object's owner or history. Psychometry is often associated with psychics, mediums, and clairvoyants, and is sometimes used in paranormal investigations or psychic readings. The validity of psychometry as a psychic or paranormal phenomenon is widely debated in the scientific and skeptical communities.
