editJune Etta Downey(July 13, 1875- October 11,1932) was an American psychologist on handwriting and personality.Her work includes individual Will-Temperament Test in 1919, which was one of the first tests to evaluate character traits separately from intellectual capacity and was the first to use psychographic methods for interpretation.[1][2] Another contribution of Downey is the notion of muscle reading, which could connect involuntary motor actions and individual's personality.
She had studied with Edward B. Tichener in 1901 at Cornell University and thus gaining growing interest in experimental psychology. Also, both James Rowland Angell and John B. Watson were the subjects for her dissertation. In her later years, Downey mainly focused on teaching and was the chair of the Department of Psychology and Philosophy at the University of Wyoming until her last year. She held many firsts, such as the first women to hold the head position at a state university. Besides, she was appointed to American Psychological Association Council, the Society of Experimentalists and was elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
