He is also interested in the psychometric measurement of personality, with a keen eye on implicit measures. Other research interests include the relationships between personality, behaviour and psychological situations; the psychometric measurement of creative problem-solving skills; statistical power; and scientific reproducibility.

Prof. Dr. Ingo Zettler

Ingo Zettler is Professor of Personality and Social Behavior at the Copenhagen Center for Social Data Science (SODAS) and the Department of Psychology, both at the University of Copenhagen.

At this juncture, the focus typically lies on aversive and prosocial aspects.
