This study examined the relationship between origami performance, personality traits, and spatial ability. The researchers asked 43 Japanese university students (19 women and 24 men) to fold three models of origami (paper folding). Their performance was assessed by the number of successes in correctly folding the paper to make the models. They also answered the personality inventory NEO-FFI and completed the block-design test of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale IV, which measures the spatial ability of people. The results showed that although origami performance demonstrated no significant relation with neuroticism, openness to experience, agreeableness, or conscientiousness, it improved as introversion tendency and spatial ability increased. There were no differences based on sex in origami performance. The findings suggest that performing origami requires spatial ability, which supports the view that origami is a potential educational material for training and enhancing spatial ability, and that introversion is advantageous to origami performance.
本研究考察了折纸表现、人格特质和空间能力之间的关系。研究人员让43名日本大学生（19名女性和24名男性）折叠三种折纸模型。通过成功正确折叠纸张以制作模型的次数来评估他们的表现。他们还回答了人格量表NEO-FFI，并完成了韦氏成人智力量表第四版的积木设计测试，该测试用于测量人的空间能力。结果表明，虽然折纸表现与神经质、经验开放性、宜人性或尽责性没有显著关系，但随着内向倾向和空间能力的提高而有所改善。折纸表现不存在性别差异。研究结果表明，进行折纸需要空间能力，这支持了折纸是一种用于训练和提高空间能力的潜在教育材料的观点，并且内向有利于折纸表现。
