JJ looks like a proud mummy looking at her baby
JJ: What have you got?
Reid: He only sent this to an individual, which shows he’s not confident enough to initiate contact with the masses. Emotional indicators are analyzed through slants. The shooter maintains vertical, narrow-lettered writing, both signs of repression. And the pressure, if you look closely, is excessively heavy, which shows that he’s uptight and can easily overreact.
JJ: You got all that from his handwriting?
Reid: Graphology is an effective and reliable indicator of personality and behavior.
JJ: My writing’s always different.
Reid: That’s because it expresses your emotions at that given time, just like your facial expressions parallel the way you’re feeling while you’re speaking.
JJ: I’m surprised this guy writes in cursive. His message is so clear. I would’ve thought he’d print everything.
Reid: Actually, his connected writing shows that he deals with problems in a practical and direct manner.
JJ: Like shooting someone.
Reid: Exactly.
