Graphology as predictor of academic achievement

Abstract: From 50 psychology students, homogeneous samples of handwriting were obtained and a standardized personality questionnaire was applied. 10 components were scored for the scripts and the questionnaire consisted of 11 components. Components of scripts and scores on the questionnaire were the predictors and second-year grade point averages in psychology provided the criterion. A higher multiple correlation was obtained for graphology than for scores on the personality questionnaire.

Students' Involvement as Indicated by Personality and Graphological Factors

Abstract: This research project was designed to examine the relations of students' involvement to personality or graphological factors. A second purpose concerned possible relations between personality and graphology. Subjects were undergraduate students enrolled in a general education course. Each of 244 subjects completed a personality measure, a use of eight services questionnaire, and a handwriting sample. The personality measure provided scores on each of 11 subscales. The handwriting sample was used to make specific measures of 25 graphological characters per subject. Their intercorrelations were factor analyzed and clustered into 12 factors. Statistically significant, extremely small, canonical correlations between involvement and personality and between involvement and graphological factors were noted. Redundancy analyses identified that 08% of the variance of the involvement variables was explained by the personality variates and .08% by the graphological variates, suggesting an extremely low correlation, ...
