What Handwriting Reveals: A Graphologist's Take on the Minnesota Suspect
By Mike Ruggiero
Graphology—the study of handwriting—is a fascinating, controversial, and sometimes revealing tool for understanding personality. And in moments of national tragedy, it can offer a new lens.
Following the tragic shooting in Minnesota this past weekend, a handwriting expert examined a publicly circulating sample from suspect Vance Boelter. Here’s what they observed:
✍️ Quick Graphology Breakdown
Heavy pen pressure = aggressive, energetic, assertive
Breaking the lines of the paper = someone willing to break the rules of society
Retracing letters = paranoia
Evasive baseline = moody
Changes in slant = emotional instability
Cradle formations in lower zone = a desire to be taken care of
Right-handed (as inferred from writing angle)
Overall: “You can see the manic personality of the writer in the style of the writing.”

🧭 Important Note:
Graphology is not a conclusive science, and this analysis does not imply guilt, diagnosis, or justification. It’s one lens—shared here for discussion, curiosity, and insight into a lesser-known field of forensic psychology.
