This study briefly reviews the literature on the relation between non-content aspects of speech and personality variables. Data on lengths of sound, silence, units and sound/silence ratio are then presented showing that in general speech patterns of Dutch subjects are similar to those of English-speaking subjects. There is also confirmation of some differences in speech patterns between extraverts and introverts, and some differences were found due to sex and intelligence.
