Examined the relationship between certain handwriting characteristics and Eysenck's Extraversion-Introversion and Kagan's Impulsivity-Reflectivity personality dimensions. Using 46 female subjects, scores on the EPQ inventory and Matching Familiar Figures test were compared by factor analysis to the handwriting characteristics of: middle zone height; middle zone breadth; upper zone height; lower zone height; space between words; right margin breadth; left margin breadth; a general size measure; handwriting time; paragraph indention; slant. The factor analysis revealed three distinct writing styles: one related to Extraversion; another related to Introversion; and a final one related to Reflectivity. These findings were discussed in relation to statements made by graphologists. Also, the significance of trait-sign and factor analysis in comparison with other methods of graphoanalysis was discussed.
研究了某些笔迹特征与艾森克的外向-内向以及卡根的冲动-沉思人格维度之间的关系。以46名女性为研究对象，通过因子分析将艾森克人格问卷（EPQ）量表得分和匹配熟悉图形测验得分与以下笔迹特征进行比较：中区高度；中区宽度；上区高度；下区高度；单词间距；右边距宽度；左边距宽度；总体大小度量；书写时间；段落缩进；倾斜度。因子分析揭示了三种不同的书写风格：一种与外向性有关；另一种与内向性有关；最后一种与沉思性有关。结合笔迹学家的观点对这些发现进行了讨论。此外，还讨论了特质符号和因子分析与其他笔迹分析方法相比的重要性。
