Science stats beat astrology stars

Astrology claims that people’s personalities are directly affected by their date of birth. So is there any evidence to support the ideas of astrology? The answer, it seems again, is a resounding no.

A paper studying over 15000 people by Danish and German researchers looked for any statistical correlations between date of birth and personality traits. In every single aspect studied, no correlation was found. The paper is entitled The relationship between date of birth and individual differences in personality and general intelligence: A large-scale study, and is in the May issue of the journal Personality and Individual Differences.
