Document Summary

Wanted to go beyond the descriptive factor analytic concepts of cattell and the big five. Wanted to be able to test a model of personality. Connected superfactors (biological in nature and influenced by genetics, they are orthogonal, they have no further correlations) that were identified through factor analysis with psychophysical entities (arousal, etc) Immanuel kant: popularized that doctrine of the four temperaments. Hippocrates: suggested that personality could be classified according to a predominance of certain body fluids (humors). These reflected the four elements of the cosmos. Sheldon: described individuals in terms of traits based on physiques and temperaments. Though hans believed his contribution was ultimately negative. Ernest kretschmer: interested in normal personality types and their abnormal complements. Focused on model of personality that had two distinct aspects: (1) a description of personality derived from factor analytic studies and (2) causal analysis based on experimental tests of deductions.
