After performing on Saturday Night Live, Kanye West tweeted a photo of handwritten lyrics to his latest track, "Black Skinhead." Virgil Abloh Instagrammed a picture of the lyrics, too, with the caption: "He just wrote this. Literally."

Looking at the image, we couldn't help but think of the feelings Kanye might have had the moment he wrote the song's lyrics that day. So we had his handwriting analyzed by Sheila Kurtz. Kurtz, president of Graphology Consulting Group and ScanMyMan.com—who's analyized everyone's handwriting from former CIA directors to presidential candidates—broke down Ye's handwriting into a number of categories.

Most notably, she observes that Kanye's form of writing is called "Block Printing," and it's used by people who want others to know as little as possible what their handwriting might reveal.

The downward dip to the right of his lettering is a signal of a "somewhat depressed frame of mind," Kurtz says. West's writing "bears striking resemblance to Lindsay Lohan's" and is favored by people who write ransom notes.

On emotions:

Sure, some things on the report aren't necessarily how we think of Kanye (like how he's not easily swayed by his emotions). That said? The idea that Kanye "thinks and acts in accord with [his] own beliefs regardless of the influence or persuasions of others" sounds—to be kind—fairly accurate.
