Abstract

In 1938 the Russian-born psychologist Dagmar Weinberg observed that, in order to distinguish between “bad” and “good” workers, it was necessary to consider a biotypological description of their personality. With these words she defined her position in the context of mid-twentieth century psychology, when the applied psychological model of selection, centred upon the scientific study of aptitudes, was turning toward the study of personality. The current paper aims to reconstruct Weinberg’s scientific career, which has hitherto not been investigated in depth. Attending both the Sorbonne laboratory and the École Pratique des Hautes Études, she was involved with two different research groups, those of Henri Piéron and Jean-Marie Lahy which dealt with docimology. However, her main interest was in mathematical statistics, which led her to developing new methods for selection, learning, and vocational guidance tests.
