title: Personality traits associated with voice types.
abstract: Speech samples and 16 PF scores were obtained from 104 male college students. The speech samples were rated for loudness and tempo and four voice quality profile types were identified: loud-fast; loud-slow; soft-fast; soft-slow. Analysis of variance indicated a significant difference between the four groups on the 16 PF. On the basis of this study and a previous study using the MMPI, actuarial descriptions of the specific personality traits associated with each voice quality profile type are presented.
