Do you write more like John Wilkes Booth – or Charles Manson?



Charles Manson

 Our handwriting says some things about us we don’t even know – especially our signature.

Handwriting examiner Kimon Ianetta has analyzed the signatures of three ruthless killers and here’s what she sees:


• John Wilkes booth has a far-right slant and a lot of pen pressure. That shows he was passionate and capable of influencing people. He also underscored his signature which screams confidence.

• Jesse James has rushed handwriting that leans forward. That indicates a lot of energy, and enthusiasm. The lines of his writing crash into the right margin which suggests he had trouble holding back.

• Charles Manson’s writing is all over the place – with erratic margins and varied letter forms. It shows he is street-smart and impossible to pin down. The distortion and angles of his lower loops reflect unconscious memories of violent experiences still present from his childhood.
