Raymond B. Cattell

Sobre el Autor

Raymond B. Cattell was a prominent British psychologist known for his work in personality theory and psychometrics. He made significant contributions to the understanding of human behavior through his development of the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF), which is widely used in various fields including psychology, education, and business. Cattell's research focused on the structure of personality and the development of methods to assess it quantitatively, leading to his influential theories on personality traits.

In addition to his work on personality, Cattell authored numerous books, including 'An Introduction to Personality Study' and 'The Scientific Analysis of Personality'. His book 'A New Morality from Science: Beyondism' explores a framework for morality based on scientific principles. Cattell's theories were shaped by the influence of earlier psychologists, and he sought to integrate scientific rigor into the study of psychology, making lasting impacts in both theoretical and applied psychology.
