Gordon Allport was a psychologist, who was born in USA.He borned in 1897 and died in 1957.
He was the youngest brother of four and, like his older brother, Floyd, he decided to study psichology. He was shy and a studious boy when he went to the school, and so brilliant at high school. He studied psychology on Harvard University, and his first publication was with his brother colaboration, Floyd.He visited Sigmund Freud in Viena, and he realized that the psychology its more deeper than the behavior science believe.
He created a few personality test’s, and talked about the genotypes and phenotypes on the behavior. His theory, named “trait theory”, is a try to describe a person with three factors: the cardinal traits, the central traits and the secondary traits.
I like this psychologist because he was a classic expert on the field, and his theory and tests were and still are a very important contribution to this discipline. I think Allport is on the top ten of the most recognized psychollogist in the world.
Thats all !

ReplyDeleteEemm...I disagree with you, Allport was not a good psychologist, the categorization of the human personality was not a good theoryzation.
