she is known for her dedication to her research participants. she stressed the importance of direct contact with her participants, even when her peers in the testing profession did not. she famously said, "the adding machine has tremendous advantages over the child as an object of intimate association. it has no parents; it does not lose its pocket-handkerchief; it does not kick or yell. all this we grant. those who really study children — those who would study any individuals— must be prepared to take pains". she is also known for her work in the first two decades of the twentieth century that contributed in a small way to changing the views toward women that led to women having the right to vote in a nation that had too long denied them that right. one of her students that became well known is carl rogers.
