An Empirical Study of Feng Shui Experts\' Agreement and Reliability
Listed in Harvard Dataverse
The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of Feng Shui.
Description
The major hypothesis was that Feng Shui experts’judgments on environments were consistent. Surveyed subjects were experts of different schools of Feng Shui.
Research methods included literature review, questionnaires, site inventories, and statistical analyses. The first questionnaire covered 63 sites, which were first selected from literature and further proved by four Feng Shui experts. Ninety five subjects provided valid data.

The second questionnaire included 9 good Feng Shui sites and 9 bad Feng Shui sites. Seventy subjects provided valid data. The second questionnaire was mailed out three months later than the first one.
The results of the analyses of internal consistency, MANOVA, MANCOVA, test-retest reliability, and multivariate paired sample means showed that Feng Shui experts’judgments were relatively consistent and were not significantly different from each other in terms of gender, occupations, Feng Shui schools, time difference, and the presence of satellite images. As the application of Feng Shui is dependant on the experts’judgments, which reliability and consistency are acceptable, it is therefore concluded that Feng Shui is reliable.
