He was, however, a controversial figure, due in part to his friendships with and intellectual respect for white supremacists and neo-Nazis.
Cattell was an early proponent of using factor analytic methods instead of what he called "subjective verbal theorizing" to explore empirically the basic dimensions of personality, motivation, and cognitive abilities. One of the results of Cattell's application of factor analysis was his discovery of 16 separate primary trait factors within the normal personality sphere (based on the trait lexicon).Cattell, R. B. & Kline, P. (1977). The Scientific Analysis of Personality and Motivation. New York: Academic. He called these factors "source traits".Cattell, R. B. (1973). Personality and Mood by Questionnaire. San Francisco: CA: Jossey-Bass. This theory of personality factors and the self-report instrument used to measure them are known respectively as the 16 personality factor model and the 16PF Questionnaire (16PF).Cattell, R. B., Eber, H. W., & Tatsuoka, M. M. (1970). Handbook for the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF). New York: Plenum.
Cattell also undertook a series of empirical studies into the basic dimensions of other psychological domains: intelligence,Cattell, R. B. (1982). The Inheritance of Personality and Ability: Research Methods and Findings. New York: Academic. motivation,Cattell, R. B. & Child, D. (1975). Motivation and Dynamic Structure. London: Holt, Rinehart & Winston. career assessment and vocational interests.Schuerger, J. M. (1995). Career assessment and the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire. Journal of Career Assessment, 3(2), 157–175. Cattell theorized the existence of fluid and crystallized intelligence to explain human cognitive ability,Cattell, R. B. (1963). Theory of fluid and crystallized intelligence: A critical experiment. Journal of Educational Psychology, 54, 1–22. investigated changes in Gf and Gc over the lifespan,Cattell, R. B. (1971).
