Unfortunately, the enterprise faltered, and interest declined as other aspects of psychology became more fashionable. Perhaps it is not entirely fair to say that interest in abilities went out of style but rather that the field stagnated, suffering from a paucity of new ideas and characterized by the persis- tence of out-moded concepts.

Introduction Nomothetic trait models are obligated to Raymond Cattell, an eloquent proponent that key attributes of personality can be illustrated by discrete dimensions. Cattell’s theory of personality is inseparably connected to quantitative measurement models based on factor analysis of personality data through questionnaire responses and other sources. While Costa and McCrae attempted to stimulate the majestic proposal of Cattell’s idea- an empirical model of traits encompassing gamut of personality. Their Big Five model was focused on depiction of personality, not causes of personality. To study problems with multiple variables, Cattell stressed a great deal on the statistical tool of factor analysis which is used to segregate larger group of observed, interrelated variables to find out a limited number of underlying factors.

It focuses on the history of psychometric analysis, trait psychology, the 1234567890():,; lexical hypothesis and multivariate factor analysis, and how they developed in close con- junction with the history of eugenics. More particularly, it will analyze how the work of Francis Galton, Ludwig Klages, Charles Spearman, and Raymond Cattell (among others) contributed to the manifold translations between statistics, the pseudoscience of eugenics, the politics of Trumpism, and the data driven psychology of the personality championed by Cambridge Analytica. 1 University of California, Berkeley, CA, USA. ✉email: [email protected] HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES COMMUNICATIONS | (2020) 7:41 | https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-020-0505-5 1 ARTICLE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES COMMUNICATIONS | https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-020-0505-5 translation of the Old Testament from Hebrew to Greek, they Once King Ptolemy gathered seventy-two elders and put might, in the same breath, have contested the veracity of its them into seventy-two houses, and did not reveal to them content. why he gathered them.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Correlation of Music Preference and Personality By Luke Knowles Instructor: Professor T. Powers PSY 201 12/13/13 Knowles 1 ABSTRACT Music is a universal phenomenon that is seen throughout every culture across the world. People have manifested individual interests in music based on their environment, culture, and distinct discernments. Music is easily accessible currently due to the media age that has dominated across the world; therefore individuality has never been so independent and universal at the same time. With that being said, an iPod can reveal a good amount of personal information about a person with the different types of musical genres they have acquired. The distinguishing factors of music can subsequently determine certain behaviors and traits the person can potentially possess. Research has determined that with certain music, there are collective traits the person is more disposed too. Therefore, there is a definite relationship between one’s music preference and personality. The theories, dimensions, research, arguments, and how to test the relationship will be exposed from this paper. Knowles 2 THEORIES Raymond Cattell was a trait theorist with the intent to study personality to predict how a person would behave in a certain situation (Schultz & Schultz, 2013).

  • History of the World (Of Psychometrics)
    history of the world (of psychometrics) ... AS SEEN BY AN ENLIGHTENED TRAVELLER Psychometrics: a branch of psychology which creates and studies theories, methods and techniques for evaluating and measuring an individual’s psychic capacity, using tests, inventories and other statistically valid techniques. It is always difficult to define a method or discipline’s origins in a precise manner. Psychometrics is no exception here. However, the subject is not neutral: by introducing the notion of measurement into the study of the human mind, psychometrics allows psychology to be differentiated from philosophy, from whence it came. The question of origins thus allows us to date the split between the two disciplines. 1573–1904: the origins of the discipline Several authors have debated the question of the origins of psychometrics. Greece, China, Egypt... and so on? The practice of evaluating and ranking of candidates or workers has emerged in various places at different times. Can we call this psychometrics already? Juan Huarte de San Juan, a Spanish doctor and philosopher (c 1530-1588), marks a true starting point. In 1573, he published his Examen de Ingenios para las Ciencias, or exam of the mind in sciences, which made its way progressively across Europe. It is the first ever tract that establishes a link between psychology and physiology. But it was the German philosopher Christian von Wolff (1679-1754) who is recognized as the first to have used the term “psychometrics”. In his 1732 work, Psychologia Empirica, in the note on paragraph 522, he writes: “in the dual way we have of building the foundations of degree of pleasure and pain, psychometrics comes to our rescue.

Objective • Students will be able to know about and understand the key concepts and the basic dimensions of personality described by Raymond B. Cattell. Learning outcome- The students would be able to draw the differences between the various types of traits used by Cattell in his personality theory. They would be able to understand that how do the concept of dynamic lattice helps people in evolving their personality in various situations. Cattell has used the concept of Factor analysis while identifying the various traits of personality. His theory has used factor analysis as an empirical tool while identifying theoretical concepts of traits. - The essential ideas of factor analysis were introduced by Spearman who is known for his work with mental abilities. - He defined that any two tests, which are related, identify two factors. One is a general factor and other is a specific factor. - General factor is common to both tests while specific factor is unique to each test. - By examining patterns of covariation, factor analysis allows us to take large number of data based upon different measures to be reduced to certain set of clusters or factors.
