Klaus Eyferth

Klaus Eyferth (November 9, 1928 – July 19, 2012) was a German psychologist.[1][2] He was educated at the University of Hamburg, from which he received his diploma in 1954, his doctorate in 1958, and his habilitation in 1964.[3] While at the University of Hamburg, he conducted a study on the IQ scores of the German-raised children of black and white American soldiers stationed in Allied-occupied Germany. This study has since become known as the Eyferth study.[4][5] In 1973, he joined the faculty of the Technical University of Berlin, where he went on to help establish the Institute for Psychology.[6] A member of the German Psychological Society, he hosted its 1988 conference in Berlin. In 1995, he retired from the Technical University of Berlin; he became an emeritus professor there the following year. He died on July 19, 2012, at the age of 83.[2][3]
