Handwriting Analysis of Serial Killer Ted Bundy
Ta’Sharee Grant
We all remember the serial killer, Ted Bundy, who stalked and killed at least 36 women on college campuses. Psychiatrists diagnosed him as having a personality disorder.
Graphology was used to determine whether or not Ted Bundy showed any signs of being a serial killer.
Two separate writing samples were taken from Ted Bundy, in order to analyze his handwriting. His handwriting was rounded, which indicates a person who is graceful with imagination. Bundy also writes with certain lightness, indicating an ill-adjusted personality. His capital "A’s" with a perfect oval and small letter "N" in place of a capital, signifies clarity of thought and simplicity. Bundy’s "C’s" are written indicating his sense of beauty, clarity, and poetry. His capital "D" shows Bundy as having originality and the great degree of swelling of this letter proves his vanity. However, his small "d" linked to the next letter by a gracious curve proves that Bundy has a logical sequence of ideas. The written letter "H" indicates that Bundy has a sense of grandeur, strength, and liveliness. Ted writes his small letter "T’s" in place of a capital one and heavily crossed shows a person with very strong will power who is also domineering.
Ted Bundy’s handwriting shows that he is an intelligent individual, with a slight personality disorder. He is a strong and domineering person, which was confirmed by his ex-girlfriend. Graphology does shed some light on what the psychiatrist said Bundy’s personality was like.
