A scientific treatment should not diminish, but increase the general interest taken in character. To bring together the various aspects of the subject, which, in literature, are treated in isolation from one another; to lead up to a general conception of it; to study the methods by which the knowledge of it may be increased in accuracy and extent; these are to make approaches to a scientific treatment of character. While I have had chiefly to confine myself to a study of the tendencies of the emotions and sentiments, this has been, throughout, my aim. This book, then, is a study of method. Yet I do not claim that this method is essentially new. It is in the main the hypothetical method of the sciences; it has had to be adapted to the treatment of character: that is all. A complete science of mind would include a science of character. The best approach to such a science is through the study of the primary emotions and their connected instincts. This study is to be directed to an analysis of tendencies. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA, all rights reserved).

"The present work is intended, if possible, to reanimate the interest in the analytical study of human character, which was considerably awakened by the attention drawn to phrenology, and which seems to have declined with the comparative neglect of that study at the present time. There is nothing more certain, than that the discriminating knowledge of individual character is a primary condition of much of the social improvement that the present age is panting for. The getting the right man into the right place is mainly a problem of the judgment of character; the mere wish to promote the fitting person is nugatory in the absence of the discrimination"--Preface.

"The Character Education Inquiry was undertaken by Teachers College at the request of the Institute of Social and Religious Research. From the beginning there has been the most generous regard for the freedom of the investigators. Beyond defining in a general way the major field of study, no stipulation was made as to the problems to be attacked or the techniques to be used. We were asked to undertake a basic research and were left free to determine its nature and scope. Very wisely, however, a group of advisers was provided to which we could present our plans for appraisal at any stage of the enterprise. We began in the fall of 1924 with two immediately practicable projects--a study of deception, and a beginning in the use of tests of moral knowledge and attitude. Our hope was that in executing these projects we might learn something of the possibilities of research in the highly intangible field of character study, and could mature plans for the entire period. They proved to be admirably adapted to these purposes"--Introduction. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
