Historiometry : ウィキペディア英語版 | Historiometry
Historiometry is the historical study of human progress or individual personal characteristics, using statistics to analyze references to geniuses,〔 their statements, behavior and discoveries in relatively neutral texts. Historiometry combines techniques from cliometrics, which studies the history of economics and from psychometrics, the psychological study of an individual's personality and abilities. ==Origins== Historiometry started in the early 19th century with studies on the relationship between age and achievement by Belgian mathematician Adolphe Quetelet in the careers of prominent French and English playwrights but it was Sir Francis Galton, a pioneering English eugenist who popularized historiometry in his 1869 work, ''Hereditary Genius''. It was further developed by Frederick Adams Woods (who coined the term ''historiometry'') in the beginning of the 20th century. Also psychologist Paul E. Meehl published several papers on historiometry later in his career, mainly in the area of medical history, although it is usually referred to as ''cliometric metatheory'' by him. Historiometry was the first field studying genius by using scientific methods.
