Michael Jackson
Personality Profile
My threat assessment profile on Michael Jackson is not based on my thoughts, feelings or emotions about him. It is based on his behavior patterns and traits found in his handwriting at the time this document was penned, no more, no less.
Michael at the time this document was penned was an Ambivert and could be at times an Expressive Ambivert personality type based on his emotions and frame of mind at the time he penned the document. Handwriting is brain writing and can fluctuate during time of stress, health issues and emotional changes.
There was slight moodiness in the handwriting which tells me he was undergoing a stress/trauma yet to be identified. I will explain the Ambivert personality type and what can be expected from them under controlled/uncontrolled circumstances.
Ambivert Personality
These personalities are in between the Introverted personality and the more emotional Extroverted personality. There is much more to the Ambivert personality than I will explain here. Ambiverts can be suppressed Ambiverts, Ambiverts and expressive Ambiverts. Again their behavior patterns are on a bell curve. No two personalities will act exactly the same. I will give you a more accurate basic overview of these complex and misunderstood personalities.
Ambivert personalities are well controlled; they are referred to as being controlled by their logic, objectivity or simply their head. Emotional personalities are referred to as being controlled by the heart or their emotions. Emotional experiences such as love, hurt anger, sorrow, joy, etc., are locked inside the Ambivert personality. Ambiverts experience emotions like you and I they just deal with it in a different way. Their emotions are more suppressed and only are expressed when they feel they can do so safely.
The Ambivert under normal conditions is afraid of emotion and has a difficult time expressing it. They simply do not know how to do it. They normally express emotion by doing things for you. They will cook for you, run errands, give you their time, money, be a good listener and are very dependable. However, in order for them to give you this loyalty, you have to be accepted by them. It is not whether you like him/her or whether you accept him/her, nor whether you want him/her as a friend/ lover. It is whether they like, accept or want you! That is the deciding factor. The Ambivert cannot be dealt with in an emotional manner. You have to be firm, honest, logical, and sincere and express confidence in your product and service as well as yourself.
The Ambivert lives by a code "what is in the best interest of everyone." They are your peace makers. The Ambivert being well controlled emotionally will handle emotional experiences or confrontations with a cool, calm and overtly composed manner. Due to this overt facade, those who come into contact with the Ambivert normally misread them and assume they are cold, aloof unemotional and simply detached. This is not the case at all. Overtly they may project the above behavior, but covertly they are experiencing raging emotional discomfort. The Ambivert does not handle emotional nonsense and foolishness very well. That is not logical to them and drains the Ambivert of their emotional intensity. Ambiverts many times than not will become involved with the more emotional extrovert. This is when problems arise.
The Extrovert is emotional all the time while the Ambivert is emotional some of the time. When the Ambivert is subjected to consistent emotional pressure by the more emotional Extrovert the Ambivert will look for ways to escape from you. They need to recharge their emotional batteries. Ambiverts like their solitude and can do very well by themselves. There is less emotional pressure put on them and they can do what they do best, function in an unemotional way. Ambivert personalities are a one person, one place, one thing type of personality. What this means is that Ambiverts will wrap themselves around one person which could be their husband, wife, girlfriend. One place, is their home. The one thing, is their job, hobby. This is the security blanket for the Ambivert personality. If anyone of these key areas of their lives comes under attack these personalities can become very disorientated. As their internal emotional pressure builds and builds, Ambiverts like a jack in the box will simply explode. The reason for this behavior is Ambiverts suppress, suppress and suppress, keeping all of that emotional energy locked up inside. Unlike the more emotional Extrovert who will express/vent and let out steam to take the edge off. The Ambivert will suppress and not vent and will keep all that energy locked up inside. The problem with the Ambivert is you never know how far down their fuse has been spent or burnt away. When they cannot suppress their emotions anymore and an emotional upheaval occurs, it is like a volcano exploding. Those associated with the Ambivert can be taken aback, since this sort of overt behavior is not the norm for the Ambivert and often confuses those close to him/her. Loyalty and honesty are very important to the Ambivert, when lied to, hurt or double crossed they will forgive you but never forget. The Ambivert personality will never totally trust you again.
The Ambivert must always feel in control and explore all avenues in order to feel secure in their actions. Therefore they have a tendency to get bogged down in detail they will think and analyze a situation when intense emotions are coming into play. Ambiverts learn very quickly from past mistakes of an emotional nature. They will go out of their way to avoid making the same mistakes again.
The main reason it takes time to get emotionally close to an Ambivert. Depending on the intensity level of the Ambivert personality when these personalities have snapped and gone into a negative, hostile frame of mind these people can be extremely explosive. Their explosive potential can be expressed with devastating consequences.
Ambiverts live by a code "what is in the best interest of everyone" the more emotional Extroverted personality does not understand that concept very well. This statement does not mean that the Ambivert is an wimpy ass kisser. This statement means that the Ambivert will look at a situation and analyze it. The Ambivert will do what is in their best interest and also what is in the best interest of others.
Example; You have two Extroverted friends who are having a argument, each one thinks they are right. Both are your friends. One says to you, "she is such a bitch," I don't want you talking to her anymore. The Ambivert will not do that. The Ambivert will look at the situation and not take sides.
The Ambivert will do what is in the best interest of everyone. The Ambivert being a peace maker will try to get both of her/his friends talking again. The Extrovert now becomes angry at you for not taking his/her side. " If you were really my friend you would have taken my side" There is no logic to emotion. Believe me when Extroverts are on a roll, they have no logic.
Ambiverts do not like to hurt people on any level. There are times in the life of the Ambivert personality that hurting some else is just unavoidable. The Ambivert always feel badly after the fact. There have been a few times in my life when I have had that explosion and I have hurt someone. They did not pay attention to the warning signs, they kept pushing and pushing. That was a mistake they will not make a second time. Yet, after the confrontation, I felt bad. As I mentioned in the first article when the Ambivert explodes it is not a lovely sight.
Ambiverts are very independent personalities. They are very self sufficient. Ambiverts pride themselves on taking care of things on their own. They do not like to depend on others. Ambiverts can be and are very creative personalities. They can and will accomplish any task they are required to do. The Ambiverts face to the world is in what they do and how good they do it, as with the case with Michael.
Ambiverts do not do well with rejection, ridicule, criticism or punishment. They will drive that emotional pain inward, they will blame themselves first, where as the Extrovert will drive that pain outward and blame you.
Michael was a very intense personality (pressure factor) this is mental strength. I will explain pressure factor (intensity levels below.)
Intensity Levels
The most misunderstood trait in profiling. Intensity is mental strength not physical strength. You are born with an intensity level. Profiling based on Handwriting Analysis (American Trait Theory) tells the profiler how intense the personality is. How the personality will respond under controlled/uncontrolled circumstances. Intensity does not mean one person is better than the other person. Most people I talk to think that is the case, that concept is false. There are six levels of intensity that I would measure starting from P-1 through P-6.
P means pressure factor or your intensity level.
Intensity is the gas a personality has in their psychic gas tank at any point in time. This is identified by the pen pressure when a person writes pen to paper. The heavier and thickness of the pen stroke the more intense the personality is. I can determine a person's intensity level based on their behavior patterns. This ability takes time. What a person projects outwardly and what they are in reality are two different matters. I look for leakage in their behavior patterns and words that tells me the person is play acting. I will use a cars gas tank as a parallel so it will be easier for you to understand the intensity difference between people.
Example:
P-1 P-2 Pressure/Intensity Level has a quarter tank of gas in their psychic gas tank. These personalities are considered light pressured personalities they are kind, very sensitive, generous and loving people and do not have the energy for very prolonged issues of any kind. They can only go so far before they burn out and need time to recharge their batteries. The last thing a lighter pressured personality wants is any type of confrontation in any form. They would find P-4 to P-6 pressured personalities to intimidating for them.
P-3 Pressure/Intensity Level has a half a tank of gas in their psychic gas tank. The P-3 are your norm of society. The average person in todays society is a P-3. They are intense for their make-up they like to live a "live and let live" life style. They are is a sign of control, calmness, and good mental balance. These personalities like to walk a straight line and not bother anyone. They keep a low profile and basically live their life in a moderate, untroubled way. They are loyal, punctual and usually stay with one person or position of employment for as long as possible. They do not want to get into confrontations with people, that does not mean they won't but when they do it will be short lived. They can only deal with so much before they burn out, they can deal with more than a P-1, P-2 pressure factor can. Remember a half a tank of gas has explosive potential.
P-4 Pressure/Intensity Level has a seventy percent full tank of gas in their psychic gas tank at any point in time. These are intense personalities, they are very assertive, with lasting endurance and good staying power. They have serious explosive potential when they are set off. They can carry a lot of weight on their shoulders. These personalities would find the P-1,2,3 a little to wimpish for them. They could get along with a P-3 but they would have problems in the long run. Michael Jackson's intensity level was in-between a P-4 to a P-5.
P-5 Pressure/Intensity Level has a eighty seven percent full tank of gas in their psychic gas tank at any point in time. These personalities have an unusual amount of energy, creativity, drive, endurance and staying power. These personalities are an indicator of deep sensuality, artistic tendencies in all its forms.
They are found in professions involving cooking, chefs, restaurant owners, designers, musicians, fashion and design. These are extremely intense personalities. They work hard, play hard, and are intense sexually. They have unbelievable staying power and endurance. When these personality types are in a good frame of mind they are wonderful people who will indulge you with pleasure. They will constantly give you their energy in the form of love and happiness, they can never do enough for you. When they are in a negative frame of mind, they can become very aggressive and abusive. They can be unforgiving if offended, Due to their intensity, as a sponge absorbs water they will absorb all forms of emotion both positive and negative. When they love, they love. When they are angry or hate, they are completely angry and they hate fully. The key here is their endurance. When they go negative they are a force to content with.
P-6 Pressure/Intensity Level has a full tank of gas in their psychic gas tank at any point in time.
These personalities are the most extreme, the most intense in every aspect of their lives. Male of female it does not matter. They are the personalities who kill an elephant with an elephant gun, they also kill a mosquito with an elephant gun. They do not act this way for dramatic effect. This is how they are. These personalities have no gray. They like you, they like you, they will give you the world. They will take care of you and protect you with their own lives. If they do not like or trust you believe me, you will know it. These personality types are the most volatile, the most dangerous when they are set off. It would not be advisable to trigger these intense personalities. It is very rare that you will find a personality in this pressure range. If you, do you do not have to concern yourself, since they will find you to be weak, wimpish, and or submissive they will usually advise you of their feelings. When they are set off you will know it and will be lucky to survive it.
What is important to understand is the personalities intensity level fuels each and every trait found in their profile.
His intensity level powered every trait in Michael's profile. Intensity is the gas in the personalities mental gas tank. Michael was born with his intensity level. His intensity level was measured in the P-4 to P-41/2. That is a point and a half above the norm. The average level in todays society is a P-3. Personalities in this intensity level will accomplish any goal they put their mind to. Michael was a perfectionist. Michael wanted everything he did to be as perfect as possible, his work, music and in his appearance. He would not stop until he achieved the level of perfection he was happy with.
Michael was somewhat egotistical and vain. But not over pronounced. Michael was very good at what he did and he knew it. Michael was also very submissive and yielding, these personality types do not want to get into emotional confrontations with people. When he was accused of sexual misconduct it devastated Michael, he listened to people who he believed had he best interests at heart. These people didn't care about Michael, only his money. They led him down a very bad road. Their advice on this issue was very bad and Michael paid a very dear price for their advice.
Michael dealt with his emotions in a very youthful and immature way. Not uncommon for an Ambivert personality type, he was reliving a childhood he never had. This emotional immaturity can be misunderstood by people who do not understand the Ambivert personality type. Michael had great willpower (strength of purposes) achieving any goal he set his mind to, his goals were also very good. He was precision oriented, that precision showed in his music videos. Michael was also very deliberate, he did what he wanted, when he wanted. With the traits of precision and perfectionism he would not stop on anything he was working on in his life until he was happy with the outcome. Michael had very good manual dexterity (working well with his hands) combined with his intensity level Michael was a very creative personality.
In closing I have been a forensic threat assessment profiler for over twenty years. When I profile a personality on their behavior patterns or traits found in a sample of handwriting, there are traits I would detect, identify, analyze and evaluate to determine if the personality would be a dangerous or sexually dangerous personality type. I did not find any of these traits in the handwriting of Michael Jackson. I only wish I was advising Michael he would be alive today, he was a music icon. There will never be another Michael Jackson.
The people he trusted and believed in were only interested in his money and fame. They never cared about Michael the human being. I have had many disagreements with other forensic profilers over the years on the behavior patterns of Michael Jackson. I never believed nor do I believe to this day that Michael Jackson ever sexually abused anyone. That assessment was accurate based on the traits I detected, identified, analyzed and evaluated in Michael's handwriting. If you should have any questions please ask Josia, I will be more than happy to answer you. You can also visit my web site www.iafei.com and send me an e-mail.
