Thurstone, L(ouis) L(eon)

(born May 29, 1887, Chicago, Ill, U.S.—died Sept. 29, 1955, Chapel Hill, N.C.) U.S. psychologist. He taught primarily at the University of Chicago (1927–52). Concerned with the measurement of people's attitudes and intelligence, he was instrumental in the development of psychometrics.
