The validity of graphologists' claims that handwriting is a measure of extraversion was examined in this study. Three handwriting measures, line slope, letter slant, and letter width were chosen, and the relationship between these measures and extraversion as measured by the Eysenck Personality Inventory was studied. The subjects were 58 tertiary students. No significant correlations between the handwriting measures and extraversion were found, nor were there significant intercorrelations between the three handwriting measures. Thus the results did not support the claim that the three handwriting measures were valid indices of extraversion.
本研究检验了笔迹学家所声称的笔迹是外向性度量指标这一说法的有效性。选取了三项笔迹测量指标：行斜率、字母倾斜度和字母宽度，并研究了这些指标与用艾森克人格量表测量的外向性之间的关系。研究对象为58名大学生。未发现笔迹测量指标与外向性之间存在显著相关性，三项笔迹测量指标之间也不存在显著的相互关系。因此，研究结果不支持这三项笔迹测量指标是外向性有效指标的说法。
