Behaviorism and psychodynamic psychology have been regarded as polar opposites. Contrary to popular belief, B. F. Skinner took an interest in Freud and many of his concepts, and agreed to be tested with the Rorschach method and the Thematic Apperception Test by Roe in her study of scientists (Roe, 1953 ). We looked for signs of creativity defined as complex responses, an intriguing emotional tone, novelty, and liveliness. Skinner displayed an enormous number of responses characterized by simplicity, an intellectualized tone, a driven quality rather than creative complexity, and a sense of strained social relationships and lack of liveliness. The findings are in line with Roe's study of other scientists. Skinner's intellectual productivity and high ambition fits well with the commanding figure history describes.
行为主义和精神分析心理学被认为是截然相反的。与普遍的看法相反，B. F. 斯金纳对弗洛伊德和他的许多概念很感兴趣，并同意接受罗的罗夏墨迹测验和主题统觉测验的测试，以研究科学家（罗，1953）。我们寻找创造力的迹象，定义为复杂的反应、有趣的情绪基调、新颖性和活力。斯金纳表现出大量的反应，其特点是简单、理智化的语气、驱动力而不是创造性的复杂性，以及紧张的社会关系和缺乏活力的感觉。这些发现与罗对其他科学家的研究一致。斯金纳的智力生产力和高度的野心与历史所描述的权威人物非常吻合。
