本研究之目的在於客觀地檢測風水專家的意見是否一致，主要的研究假設為風水研習者對環境在風水優劣程度的判別意見上將相當一致。研究對象為各不同流派之風水專家，所應用的方法包含文獻回顧、問卷調查、現地勘查及統計分析。首先，經文獻回顧及專家評選後得63 個具代表性的地點構成第一次問卷，有效樣本數為95 份。第二次問卷包含好風水與壞風水各九個地點，有效樣本數70 份。兩次問卷調查的時間相隔三個月。內部一致性信度、多變量變異數、多變量共變數、再測信度以及多變量相依樣本平均數等分析的結果顯示：風水研習者對環境在風水優劣程度的評分頗為一致，且不會因性別、職業類別、風水流派、時間間隔及有無圖像照片而有所不同。

The purpose of this study was to examine the agreement of Feng Shui experts’ judgments. 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. 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, occupation, Feng Shui school, time difference, and the presence of satellite images.
