Editing Historiometry (section)

==Examples of research==
Since historiometry deals with subjective personal traits as [[creativity]], [[charisma]] or [[Five factor model#Openness to experience|openness]] most studies deal with the comparison of scientists, artists or politicians. The study (''[[Human Accomplishment]]'') by Charles Murray classifies, for example, [[Albert Einstein|Einstein]] and [[Isaac Newton|Newton]] as the most important [[physicist]]s and [[Michelangelo]] as the top ranking western artist.<ref name="Human Accomplishment"/> As another example, several studies have compared charisma and even the IQ of presidents and presidential candidates of the United States.<ref>{{cite journal

A historiometric analysis has also been applied successfully in the field of [[musicology]]. In one groundbreaking study,<ref>{{cite journal

The resulting analysis revealed Clara Schumann's influential role in the canonization of classical piano music repertoire. Her strategy of repertoire selection was guided by extremely traditionalistic tendencies.
