“Anne Roe papers, 1949–1974 (bulk)”, (1974; ; similar):
The collection represents the data that Anne Roe (Mrs. George Gaylord Simpson) collected on 64 scientists for her 1953 book, The Making of a Scientist. The material for each scientist includes transcripts of interviews, Rorschach and Thematic Apperception Tests, personal data, reprints of the scientist’s publications, and letters several years afterward the interview asking for additional information.
[Some of the earliest direct studies of high IQ adults were conducted by Anne Roe, who, akin to SMPY’s use of the SAT, used specially-constructed standardized test items to avoid ceiling effects and could appropriately measure her elite researcher-subjects’ (often Nobel-tier) cognitive abilities, in addition to an intensive battery of other interviews & inventories. While focused more on personality/psychiatry than psychometrics, Roe’s cross-sectional results are broadly similar to the later SMPY longitudinal results.]
