Klaus Eyferth (9 November 1928 – 19 July 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 1957, 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 Technische Universität 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 TU Berlin; he became an emeritus professor there the following year. He died on 19 July 2012, at the age of 83.[2][3]
