Carl Brigham

Carl Campbell Brigham was a psychologist at Princeton University. He collaborated on Yerkes' Army Mental Tests and published his influential book, A Study of American Intelligence, on the results of that study. Though he later denounced his expressed views on the intellectual superiority of the "Nordic Race" and specifically disowned the book, it has already been instrumental in anti-immigration legislation and eugenics debate, being used for instance by Harry Laughlin in the 1924 congressional debates on immigration. His adaptation of the Army tests for literate recruits, the Army Alpha, became the later SAT-test.
