Samuel Jacob Beck

Samuel Jacob Beck (1896–1980[1]) was an American psychologist who worked on personality assessment and the Rorschach test.[2]

He graduated from Harvard in 1926 and then attended Columbia University, where received his M.A. in 1927 and Ph.D. 1932. He received the Bruno Klopfer Award in 1965.[2]

He was the first person in America to write a research paper on the Rorschach test, with a publication in 1930, and was a foremost expert on the topic. In 1947 he assisted Douglas Kelley in the interpretation of Rorschach test results from Nazi leaders taken by Kelley during the Nuremberg War Trials.[3]
