Usamos o Questionário dos 16 Fatores de Personalidade para investigar diferenças em Extroversão segundo a escala astrológica Frio-Quente (signos pares-signos ímpares) em 589 estudantes universitários brasileiros de ambos os sexos, de 19 anos e 6 meses a 51 anos e 1 mês, diferenciando entre conhecedores (208) e não conhecedores (381) da astrologia, sendo o conhecimento constituído na descrição de três características do signo solar. Foi dada a parte do grupo (266) a sugestão 'Esta é uma pesquisa sobre astrologia' , enquanto para a outra parte (323) foi dito que seria 'uma pesquisa sobre personalidade' . A ANOVA não revelou diferenças astrológicas (p>0,10) em nenhum dos grupos. Os conhecedores apresentaram maior Extroversão comparados aos não conhecedores (p=0,01). Essa diferença foi devida aos resultados dos participantes dos signos Quentes (p=0,0007), indicando a confirmação da maior suscetibilidade à informação vinda de fora sobre suas personalidades para estes.

For part of the group (266) it was given the suggestion 'This is a research on astrology' , while for the other part (323) it was said that it would be 'a research about personality' . The ANOVA did not reveal astrological differences (p>0.10) in none of the groups. The knowledgeable ones presented larger Extroversion compared to the non knowledgeable ones (p=0.01). This difference was due to the results of Hot signs participants (p=0.0007), indicating the confirmation of larger susceptibility to the outside information about their personalities.
