I was initially interested in checking out KSI’s handwriting from seeing him make appearances on Tommy’s channel
because wow he just has such a chaotic sense of humour I was very curious about what his writing looked like.
Now, I don’t know much about him personally other than the
general wikipedia type information such as
he's a Youtuber, a rapper, he boxes people sometimes?
That’s really as far as my knowledge on the guy goes
so we’ve got a relatively clean slate to jump off of four our analysis which is nice.
Also before I start the analysis, I wanted to say:
as my channel is slowly growing, I realize that
even though I have this written in all of my descriptions,
I will say it out loud and upfront today for anyone who’s maybe
a new subscriber and perhaps is not aware->
I am NOT a certified graphologist. YET.
Yet!!
But I have read numerous books and watched countless videos and read so SO many articles on graphology.
realistically, all it would take for me to get certified
at this point is to actually take the 2 exams
that you need to take in order to get certified through the
American Association of Handwriting Analysists
but those exams cost money.
Money that I don't have.
this channel isn't monetized
which I'm not complaining about!
those are just the facts.
so I don't make any money from these videos, hence, I am not certified.
if that bothers you, you are welcome to
check out a different graphology channel in the meantime,
but if you subscribe and like and comment
then my channel will get monetized faster
and I will get my license faster
before you know it, I'll be liscenced anyways
and you won't have to go through all that time of
finding a different graphology channel
so save some time and subscribe
Normally I don’t talk about boring technical stuff like licenses and-and- bleh
because at the end of the day, if your analyses are solid
(which mine are) and your accuracy rates are high(which I do)
then the majority of ppl won't care if you have a piece of paper
proving your credibility or not but I understand
there are reasons why you need to be certified.
I get it!
I'll get my certification soon I promise
I’ll get that crispy piece of paper soon enough.
But enough of that LETS TALK ABOUT THE WRITING!!!
I was very happy to have found samples of KSI’s writing
both from way back before he was such a big name as well as something from a lot more recent.
Here we have screen shots from an old KSI video from 2011
where he’s flipping through pages in his personal notebook.
And here we have some screenshots from a video he did with Vikstar
from last year where he was essentially writing an apology letter for stealing money from Vikstar in a gameshow situation.
These are two very different samples, from very different situations yes
but these samples are going to be great because
we will hopefully get something of an idea of what has changed
and what has stayed the same in those 9ish years that have passed between when those two samples were written.
The only thing that’s going to be a bit tricky for this analysis is both samples were written with two very different intentions.
The 2011 sample is writing that’s from his personal journal for video ideas and scripts,
so his writing is meant for no one to see other than himself.
Meanwhile, the 2020 apology letter is written for the intent of Vikstar reading it and if you watch the video,
Vikstar told him before writing it that he was even going to frame that apology letter.
So we know right off the bat that he’s most likely going to be writing a lot more carefully
in the 2020 sample regardless of if he’s a more careful person or not.
So when we count up all our traits at the end, we just need to keep that in mind.
But let's begin by taking a closer look at the 2011 sample.
So I see a very jerky rhythym.
I wasn’t watching him write this,
but you can tell that everything was written very quickly.
The slant is overall pretty erratic.
The writing is all for the most part connected-
meaning there are no spaces between the letters.
Also, the words are decently far apart from eachother.
And check out the zones, its very middle zone dominant
but the lowerzone, (letters like j,y,g, etc.)
the lowerzone is practically non-existent.
Some letter specific things- even though its hard to tell because he was flipping through the pages pretty fast,
he's got these lowerzone formations that jerk forward
- which is a big sign of aggression in writing.
Of course aggression in a person doesn’t need to manifest in a way that’s violent or otherwise harmful,
aggression can often be channeled into sports or video games
or other more productive outlets
I’m just saying that that the aggression trait is there.
But I would say, Even though 2011 KSI is having
a lot of aggressive traits stacking up here,
with the jerky rhythm, the fast pace, the erratic slant, the aggressive lowerzone formations,
even though these numerous traits that indicate some form of aggression are showing up,
I wouldn’t bank on this aggressive energy being channeled into anything too concerning
and the reason I say that is because of those non-existent lowerzones.
The lowerzone represents your libido, your sex drive, money, food, power, and just “vices” in general,
and since his handwriting doesn’t indicate to me that he
really engages in that aspect of life, I feel like this “aggression” that is coming up
in his analysis is really just more of a clue to how this person engages socially,
the writer might come off as “socially aggressive”
or just overly energetic, in their day-to-day life but also given the larger spaces between words,
this indicates he doesn’t even keep that close to people anyways.
So I don’t think this excess of energy that the writer has is of malicious intent
other graphologists might look at this writing and disagree with me
but given what I know about graphology and trait stacking
that's my opinion on this writing.
I think it's just an aspect of his everyday personality.
the non-existent lower zone formations are also an indicator of the writer being sexually repressed, or sexually immature
which is also an indicator of trauma, so that could result in a person who's a bit violent,
but the writer generally seems to keep their distance from people
anyways, so I don’t see this as a huge problem
I can imagine the writer has a hard time making friends though,
since his personality is clearly abrasive
given all these aggressive social tendencies that are showing up
so he's aggressive socially, at least when he's not being detached
so I don’t see this as a person you should avoid, I see this more as a person who might be in need of a friend.
So that was 2011. Now, lets look at the 2020 sample and see how things compare.
I’ll first list out all the differences, which there are alot of-
I see a very careful, slow, roundish rhythm,
an erratic slant, disconnected letters, letters that are pretty far apart as well.
But as far as similarities go, he's still got the aggressive lowerzone formations,
his writing is still for the most part middle zone dominant,
even though his zones have become more balanced than they were previously.
and-Ughhh I really wish I had a recent sample of him writing just casually but this will have to do.
So it’s seems like if we set aside all the traits that are just indicators of his caution and him not telling the full truth
such as: how careful the rhythm and slow the pace of the writing is,
the major differences include the letters
being a bit too far apart, meaning the writer is emotionally out of touch,
the words being closer together, which is being closer to others,
and also the zones being alot more balanced than they were previously,
which tells us he’s a lot less sexually repressed and is just overall a more well rounded human being.
So it looks like the writer has transformed from being an angry loner
to being an angry, yet harmonious people-person,
who might be a bit out of touch with his own emotions,
but I’d argue we’re seeing some character growth here
But you know, its funny; even though this 2020 sample is KSI in his most mild,
cautious, careful form, he still has those aggressive lowerzone formations
happening which really tells me that
even when he's trying to not step on any toes and be super meticulous and careful with what he says,
he's still just got an excess of this aggressive energy
So that’s all I feel comfortable digging out of these samples,
again, I wish I had more of his writing
but I have a bonus little pop quiz. POP QUIZ!
In previous videos I’ve explained how you can tell someone’s opinion on things or other people
in writing so: given this 2020 sample of KSI's writing,
what is KSI's view of Vikstar?
Or to put it super simply
Does KSI like or dislike Vikstar?
given what you see in his 2020 handwriting sample.
and tell me your reasoning why!
tell me in the comments :D
lemme know in the comments ^-^
okay that is all
peace out subscribe thank you for being here okay bye!
