Abstract An independent method is proposed to estimate the dispersion velocity of galactic dark matter particles. This method is based on the observed quasar-galaxy association samples that are caused by gravitational lensing. All resulting dispersion velocities are much higher than ~220km.s-1, a value expected from the virial theorem, which shows that the conventional assumption of virialization may be invalid in the halo regions of galaxies.
