Fifteen measures of non‐verbal communication were coded from videotaped interactions between a female confederate and 18–21 year old female subjects ( n = 46). Three measures of extraversion and neuroticism had previously been taken from the subjects, as was a measure of IQ. Correlation and factor analysis revealed significant relationships between certain of the variables. Extraversion was strongly associated with speaking more; a teacher's rating of neuroticism was associated with touching the self, pausing during conversation, and an absence of expressive gesture; lower IQ was associated with smiling while listening; and self‐report personality questionnaire neuroticism was associated with gaze aversion.
