The 7 Graphology Factors Scale is standardised for application in industry. A literature
study based on the personality theories of Freud, Jung, Murray and Cattell precedes
the empirical research. Graphology is conceptualised, relevant existing graphology
models are explored and a graphology theory and method for use in industry proposes
that graphology should be regulated and applications classified on the same basis as
psychometric tests.
The empirical research is based on a sample comprising 360 subjects, stratified
according to gender, position and language. The written protocol is subject to analysis
of 59 characteristics on the basis of the configuration of the writing. language is
irrelevant and the presentation of an intervening stimulus is avoided. Factor analysis
results in eight secondary factors. These are I Task Orientation - Directive, II Task
Orientation- Conscientious, Ill Emotional Stability, IV Extroversion, V Independence,
VI Conceptualisation, VII Openness to Experience and VIII Need for Power. Cronbach's
alpha coefficient achieves 0, 61 for Factor I. Stepwise regression analysis provides
correlations between factors of the Thematic Apperception, Structured Objective
Rorschach and 16 Personality Factor tests with all but Factor Ill, which is hypothesised
to be a new construct. Five of the factors are hypothesised to align with the Big Five
Personality Model. Thr9e-way analysis of variance, t-tests and the Mantei-Haenszel
tests are applied to establish differentiation based on the stratification criteria. Norm
tables based on Indigenous, English and Afrikaans first language groups are provided
in stens and bands.
Conclusions are that graphology has a worthy theoretical heritage and offers benefits
to the psychological profession and specifically industry, as part of an assessment
strategy. limitations are outlined and recommendations are made for further research. === Industrial and Organisational Psychology === D.Litt. et Phil. (Industrial Psychology) |
