With Irving Lorge, Thorndike published a standardized test in 1954 which later became, with the collaboration of Elizabeth Hagen, the widely used Cognitive Abilities Test. He was one of the first to write about cluster analysis.
Thorndike was a professor at Teachers College, Columbia University from 1936 to 1976.
He received his Bachelor of Arts (Mathematics) from Wesleyan University in 1931, and his Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy (both in Psychology) from Columbia University in 1932 and 1935, respectively.
