Obscure question. I am writing about hereditarianism in the 1950s, focusing on Eysenck, Cattell and Burt. Eysenck and Cattell are both in the 2002 list of 100 most-cited psychologists; Burt is not. Was he disqualified, or am I wrong to expect he would be on it? See link below.

since when are Chomsky or Jensen psychologists? Sure their stuff is psychology-adjacent I guess (especially for Chomsky attacking behaviorism), but afaik neither of them have ever been considered "psychologists"?

I’m not trying to defend Jensen here, but he was a psychologist. His PhD was in psych and he taught in a psych department.

yeah you're right, I still don't think Chomsky belongs on there though
Freud, a neurologist, was on the top of the list. I don't think they were trying to limit it by degree.
