Abstract
Outstanding contributions to the fields of Differential Psychology, Personality, and Psychological Assessment during the last 100 years were delivered from Spearman, Binet, Stern, Freud, and Mischel. The present article addresses the importance and influence of their scientific work. Moreover, the literature dealing with the eminence of psychologists is reported. In two separate studies groups of visible researchers from the Angloamerican sphere and from Germany (N = 41 and 51, respectively) nominated eminent persons. The German results were compared with the rank order of the citation frequencies in the SSCI. Although the correlation between the two rank orders were Zero, the two lists showed to a considerable degree the same names. The most critical assignment for personality psychology in the future is to establish an appropriate method to study the coherence of the individual.
