ABSTRACT
When I began graduate school at the University of Minnesota in 1954, I was incredibly naive and knew very little about the psychological approach to the world. The only reasons for my choice of Minnesota were that my undergraduate adviser had told me, given my purported interest in intelligence testing, that the Universities of Minnesota and Iowa were the places to go, and even I knew that Minnesota was further away from my native state of Texas (that I had grown to despise for its political conservatism and its arrogant “national character”).
