Rumpology is the purported ability to glean psychic or other information from a subject using ESP or clairvoyance specific to arses. If this sounds like PIDOOMA, you may be on the right track, but this must be pulled out of someone else's rump.
Not to be confused with a posteriori reasoning, which may or may not be bullshit, rumpology is like phrenology, but using the tail end.
Depending on the temperature of the subject, this might be either cold reading or hot reading.
Possibly the most famous rumpologist is American astrologer Jacqueline Stallone[1] — yes, mother of the Sylvester Stallone.
