June Etta Downey: Pioneer of Personality Measurement

Abstract

Nancy Bayley was born in Oregon in September 1899, into a family of pioneers. Perhaps this heralded her own pioneering spirit. Nancy's paternal grandparents had shipped around Cape Horn to Victoria, British Columbia, where her grandfather was a member of the colonial government. Her maternal grandparents— Dutch immigrants who had settled in the eastern United States in the 1600s— came to Oregon by covered wagon. An aunt who was on that trek had become a physician after being widowed and delivered Nancy and her four siblings (perhaps a forerunner of Bayley's pioneering in another field).
