Abstract: Psychology reflects the scientific study of behavior, in human as well as in animal models. From a very early time, people have noticed and have been interested in the concept of individual differences. Aristotle directly commented on this with reference to the idea that intelligence is not equally distributed in all organisms (1). Individual differences more accurately characterize behavior than does commonality. Yet, the availability of this “fact” of behavior to scientific study was debated for hundreds of years. It was not until the nineteenth century that any meaningful scientific method of inquiry was applied to variable behaviors.
