Press Release Temecula,
CA – April 20 (Newswire) - Southern
California based company, Written Inc., says it used handwriting analysis to
prevent a similar situation to the Virginia Tech massacre from occurring 7
years ago at a major university in Europe. In
the summer of 2000, a former student of the university was hired by the
financial aide department soon after graduation. It wasn’t long after he
began, that the staff realized something was very wrong with this individual.
Several times he flew into violent rages for no apparent reason. Because he was
a martial arts black belt, everyone in the office was extremely frightened of
him. When the university finally fired him, he threatened to “cut the eyes
out” of his direct supervisor. Written
Inc. was asked by the university to analyze his handwriting to assess if his
threats should be taken seriously. “We advised the faculty immediately
that our analysis of his handwriting revealed he was likely to act on his
violent thoughts and that he should definitely be taken seriously.” said Ryan
Vener, vice president of Written Inc. Based
on his Candidate Insight Report, the university posted a guard in the lobby
and banned him from entering university grounds. Three weeks after being
fired, he came back on campus with a knife. University police were prepared and
apprehended him before he could hurt anyone. He was taken into custody. Last
week, Written Inc. obtained a sample of the suspected Virginia Tech Mass
Murderer’s handwriting. The alleged killer, Seung-Hui Cho, handwrote the
Express Mail package he sent to NBC News. Written Inc. was able to analyze
the Seung-Hui Cho’s handwriting from the writing on
the package. “The
Candidate Insight Reports for the European university student and Seung-Hui
Cho turned out to be very similar”, said Mr. Vener. “They both share 6
negative personality traits, include the exact same
emotional perspective! We’ve never seen two individuals match so closely.” The
personality statements below were the same in both men’s Candidate Insight
Reports: Emotional Perspective: Emotionally
erratic; you never know what to expect.
“After
seeing the similarities between these two men, I’m confident that Candidate
Insight helped to avoid a very bad situation.” Vener added. Companies and
universities in Europe have been using handwriting analysis routinely for
many years including those located in Founded
in 1998, Written Inc. provides corporate clients with pre-employment
personality testing and reporting. Its biometric advances within the field of
handwriting analysis have led to the development of the Candidate Insight
Report. Written Inc.’s handwriting experts analyze handwriting samples using
a sophisticated software program the company developed. “The
accuracy and insight of our reports is what sets us apart from all other
personality tests.” said Mr. Vener. “Our clients have come to rely on us to
reveal the personality traits that people try to conceal. We help them keep
the bad apples out of their organizations.” To
