The present study examined the relationships among personality traits, physical characteristics, and occupational categories derived from listening to human voices. Stimuli were 26 tape-recorded male vocal samples. In Study 1, 47 undergraduate and/or graduate students rated each of these stimuli on 22 personality traits and 11 vocal characteristics. Participants were also given a list of 34 occupational categories from which to select the most adequate occupational category for each of the 26 voices. In Study 2, ninety junior college students rated the vocal samples using the twenty occupational categories which had been most often selected in Study 1. Factor analyses produced three factors each for personality characteristics, for vocal characteristics, and for occupational categories. Also, significant correlations among those factors indicated that participants consistently attributed particular personality and vocal characteristics to specific voices and assigned those voices to particular occupational categories. Stereotypical perception of voices is discussed in terms of earwitness identification.
