historiometry
Definition
- Historiometry (or historiometrics) is a specialized but broadly applicable technique for the scientific study of highly eminent achievers. Unlike psychobiography and psychohistory, with which it is sometimes confused, historiometry applies quantitative techniques (measurement and statistical analyses) to large samples of famous persons to test nomothetic hypotheses about the causal factors behind exceptional achievement.
