Dedications
Two of the greatest and most prolific contributors to the science of human personality during the
20th century were Raymond B. Cattell, PhD, DSc., and Hans J. Eysenck, PhD, DSc. While
Professor Cattell pursued his academic career in prestigious USA universities (Harvard, Clark,
Illinois), Professor Eysenck undertook his lifelong work at the Institute of Psychiatry, University
of London. So prominent were these two men, that their work is now enshrined in the Cattellian
and Eysenckian Schools of Psychology, respectively. Cattell concentrated on primary factors,
while Eysenck focused on broader secondary dimensions. Indeed, at the second-order 16PF
level, the degree of communality between the Eysenckian and Cattellian factors is striking!
‘The Cattell and Eysenck constructs and theories should be seen, not as mutually
contradictory, but as complementary and mutually supportive.’
Eysenck (1984). Cattell and the theory of Personality.
Multivariate Behavioral Research, 19(2–3): 323–336.
Both Ray Cattell and Hans Eysenck were our mentors and friends. Both men gave freely of their
time, and their kindness and generosity was abundant. Our own academic careers were facili-
tated by the intellectual support and moral encouragement of both these great men who made a
profound and lasting contribution to personality research and testing. Each was an exemplary
scientist, humanitarian and mentor, qualities that all three editors respect and aspire to. We will
remain forever indebted to both Ray Cattell and Hans Eysenck.
