Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cattell is widely recognized as the individual who has done the most to initiate academic interest in factor analysis as a way of understanding and measuring personality. He developed several well-known personality tests, such as the 16PF (16 Personality Factors) questionnaire, based on his extensive work in factor analysis. While Wundt may have been an influential figure in the early development of psychology, he did not specifically focus on factor analysis or personality measurement. Eysenck and Butcher were also significant contributors to the field of personality measurement, but their work was not as foundational as Cattell's in terms of promoting the use of factor analysis.
