This analysis is based on a small sample of handwriting, which is likely to be a hurried note, taken from a newspaper. There are difficulties in this kind of analysis as the actual size of the writing and the pressure are not known.
The writing is somewhat illegible. According to the newspaper the note reads: "Yes, pursue all 3 and promptly. And get other names at 100,000 or more, 50,000 or more - cc: H Ickes, I. Panetta, B. Webster. Ready to start overnights right away. Give me the top 10 list back, along w/ the 100, 50,000"
There are indications in the writing, such as the left slant, that difficulties and pain as a child have created a person who is self protective and is unconsciously driven by inner security needs. The close word spacing and rounded forms indicate that he needs people and craves security and closeness to hide an inner emptiness, while the left slant and variable letter spacing indicate that he finds it very difficult to reveal much of himself and is likely find close relationships difficult. He is a mix of social ease and personal caution, which enables him to relate to other people and put them at ease while revealing little of himself.
Outwardly he shows little sign of the emotions which he might be feeling inside, and he is likely to be out of touch with deeper emotions which have been repressed. Writing movements such as closed ovals and illegibility show a degree of secretiveness which is likely to be linked to self interest.
The varied forms of connection indicate that he is a many sided personality, some of which are in conflict. He is likely to have a good understanding of other people, and of complex issues relating to culture and history. The connectedness of the writing and the garland form of connection indicates that he is quick thinking and logical, easily able to connect ideas and draw conclusions from them. He is also able to communicate his ideas. The originality of letter shapes indicate a degree of original thinking and creative problem solving ability. He is more likely to rely on rational logic and the information from his senses than on any internal intuitive sense.
The chief indicator of energy is the pressure of handwriting and this is not known, however the long lower zone of letters such as g and y indicate that he is a man with considerable energy. The length and fullness here indicate strong materialistic and sexual drives which are likely to be linked to his need for security. This, together with energy and goal directedness, has provided the ambition which has motivated his career in politics. The short upper zones of letters like l and b and the larger middle zone letters show that he is practical and pragmatic in approach, firmly grounded in everyday concerns, rather than in intellectual or ethical issues.
