Abstract
This rather personal paper looks at the extent to which Hans Eysenck's research influenced work psychology presently and in his lifetime. Whilst he was interested in, and eager to apply his theory very widely from criminology to politics, he seemed less interested in the world of work. Yet his influence can be seen in correlational work psychology, which looks at personality and intelligence correlates of work beliefs and behaviours as well as experimental work psychology, which uses classic experimental psychology to test hypotheses. He “gave away” intellectually his measures and ideas to entrepreneurs preferring to test his ideas in the laboratory, classroom or clinic.
