Cyril Burt

Cyril Burt was a British scientist who studied mental abilities and personality. He was famous for developing tests to measure intelligence, like the IQ test. He also studied how intelligence, personality, and behavior might be linked to genetics. But in the 1970s, people began to question some of his findings, because they thought he may have made up numbers and data in his experiments. This made him a controversial figure and his legacy is still debated today.
