CEOs with large signatures likely to be narcissistic: study
PTI: Washington, Feb 08 2013, 22:20 IST
605 signatures were obtained, for the most part, from annual reports and proxies filed by Standard & Poor's 500 companies as of July 2011.
These were then subjected to a custom software programme to impose a rectangle on each signature and to measure its area.
"We standardised the measure by dividing the area by the number letters in the CEO's signature," Wang said.
He said the team relied on findings from psychological literature that "a bigger signature means a bigger ego, on average, though other factors may also determine signature size".
