is there a correlation between eye color and personality or
behavioural traits such as shyness, glibness, group leadership,
charisma, etc?

Hi Grthumongous!

I found a 2002 survey that reveals perceptions about eye color and
personality traits. The survey, which polled 1,016 women ages 16 to 35
in the United States, found that people often associate different eye
colors with specific personality traits.

Would the results of this survey be of your interest?

Thanks 
Bobbie7

Bobbie7,  your psych research is satisfactory and you may claim the fee. 
I will re-post the question with a slightly different slant in the
hopes of inducing someone to locate any biologically-based research. I
am not sure if the correct term is psychobiology or neurobiology.

Best regards,

my question was malformed.  I will re-calibrate it for more objective,
science based results.
The data that was provided dealt with a population of females and
their subjective, perceptive opinions of males.

This may be of some help:
