What underlies the worlds most acclaimed acts of creative
genius? Can we predict who has the capacity to become a noble
creator? These are just a sample of questions addressed by the
studies in this book, tackled by the author in unique fashion. He
first compiles large databases on samples of eminent creators and
their products. The databases, which may include both biographical
and historical information, as well as characteristics on the
creations, are then subjected to advanced statistical analyses. In
this way, the investigator can tease out the factors that led to
the achievements of an Archimedes, Descartes, Shakespeare,
Michelangelo, or Beethoven. We can also discover the reasons for
the phenomenal success of certain masterpieces. By using these
historiometric methods, psychologists can enhance our scientific
comprehension of the most important phenomena of human behavior -
creativity and genius.
