Graphology and Cattell's 16PF Traits Matrix (HoloCatT Matrix)

摘要

Graphology has been considered to be useful in identifying a person's personality in some European countries. However, the International Graphonomic Society recommended that scientific evidence is also needed to associate the usage of graphology to identify these traits. The objective of this research is to identify the relationship between the meaning of selected graphology features and Cattell's 16PF. A set of questionnaires have been distributed to personologists in order for them to verify the relationship between the meaning of five main features in graphology namely proportion, caliber, baseline, slanting and space with the 16 personality factors in Cattell’s 16PF. From the findings, 80.9% of the relation was positively confirmed by the personologist, this shows that the selected graphology features and Cattell’s 16PF do have some relations. As a result, a matrix table of graphology and Cattel’s 16PF is obtained.
