William Moulton Marston: A lawyer, a psychologist,
invented the first functional lie detector polygraph,
created the DISC model of Dominance, Influence,
Submission, Compliance for emotions and behavior of
normal people, author of Self-Help books, and created
the Wonder Woman comics.
 Some
people live an entire lifetime that seems unremarkable; without
certainty that they will leave permanent artifacts of their passing
through this world. They never become rich or famous. They enjoy
brief notoriety which fades with no seeming lasting effect. They
are years and decades ahead of their time in thought, behaviors, and
inventiveness. As they live, they are not highly acclaimed or
publicly acknowledged for remarkable contributions. Yet each idea
that they investigate, and act upon, leaves an indelible footprint
on the structure and function of society and culture for decades.
They are catalysts. They go where “angels fear to tread”. Some of
these eccentric individuals sequentially touch multiple sectors of
life and we benefit a century later by looking back to see how our
lives were changed forever just because they existed. These unusual
people start many things, and in not seeing them to completion,
believe that they are leaving nothing behind that will matter after
they die. William Moulton Marston was such a man. For details of Marston's DISC Click Here.

Brief Review: Part of The Legacy of William Moulton
Marston
The Lie Detector
Polygraph - Marston's earliest years
 In
many places Marston is credited with development of the
sphygmomanometer, blood pressure measurement, or the systolic blood
pressure test. That is not accurate. Nothing could
be farther from the truth! He missed that invention by
250 years. What he did invent is the unique adaptation of
blood pressure and physical body changes in the invention of the
first functional lie detector apparatus. His first paper on
truthfulness was written in 1913. He would be dismayed at the
un-truths told of him today. He wrote a second paper in 1915
as he finished undergraduate studies at Harvard. Marston
entered Harvard Law School and graduated in 1918, simultaneously
formally publishing his early polygraph findings in 1917 on the lie
detection invention. The innovative machine was used in World
War I and the above picture is part of Givler's publication of 1920
showing Marston in the center. William Moulton Marston
used the lie detector and had several significant events with the
lie detector, but it was 1938 before he wrote of it again
extensively. Why the lie detector or lies as a field of study?
Well... there's more to come about that.
DISC - Dominance,
Influence, Submission, Compliance -
Marston's 1920's research and work in Psychology, Emotions, and
Behavior
 The
model here is close to Marston's DISC original model and
theory. William Moulton Marston became Dr. Marston in 1921
when he completed doctoral studies at Harvard in the newly
developing field of Psychology. In the early 20's Marston's
work continued to be significant in the courts and legal system,
however, it evolved in 1924 when he first studied the concepts of
will and power and their effect on personality and human behavior.
For details of Marston's DISC Click Here.
These findings contributed
greatly to the field of psychology as did his work in consciousness,
colors, primary emotions, and bodily symptoms. He wrote
prolifically; as well as contributing to the doctoral theses of two
significant persons in the field of psychology.
 The
picture to the right shows Marston researching Emotions of Normal
People, the 1928 book which formally presenting his findings;
but he had written about DISC four years earlier, and he published a
second book on DISC, Integrative Psychology, in 1931.
Marston really wanted to
develop a unit of measurement of energy, mental energy. DISC
came, by design, from his search for measurements of the energy of
behavior and consciousness. William Moulton Marston did NOT
develop the DISC test or assessment. In fact, he never used it
as an assessment at all. However, in 1930, his best friend did
use it as an assessment in a book on success bandit was published as
one of the first in the newly emerging field of Self-Help
publications. We now know DISC as Dominance, Influence,
Steadiness, & Conscientiousness.
Very practically, Marston
did substantially apply his DISC model and theory in the real world
when he consulted with Universal Studios in 1930 to help them
transition from silent picture movies to "talking picture" movies.
Even today it is easy to see the remnants of that contribution to
the entertainment industry. After 1931, Marston never
mentioned DISC again! It seems he would find, or not find, the
answers he was seeking, lose interest, and then move to a new area
of innovation and creativity. But today we still use DISC in
all settings, in use for over 30 years, taken by over 50 million
people, and2004 research introduced new models using Marston's
original findings. And... well... there's more to come about
that too!

Writing for the Public - Historical Novels and Self-Help Books
 William
Moulton Marston placed his entire focus in life on "normal" people.
He was most interested in the common, ordinary, day-to-day
challenges which people meet. He was not interested in
psychotic, mental illness, or "crazy" behavior. He wanted to
help those who needed it most. He also wanted to help himself
earn a living to support a growing family in the midst of the
depression. In 2007 we will see Marston enjoy a bit of
reintroduction with his work... well, there's more to come on that
too...
 Venus
With Us: A Tale of the Caesar, was Marston's 1932 historical
novel. It was republished in 1953 as The Private Life of
Julius Caesar, after Marston's death, to capitalize on the
release of a film by Universal with the same name. Three other
books followed through 1939 on topics of popularity, courage,
attitudes, and determination and they were mass marketed to the
public in the emerging self-help industry. A century later
Marston's finest work remains in either the entertainment, judicial,
or self-help training industry. He was a creative genius in
the art of finding those universal truths valued by all. Ever
a devotee of all manner of entertainment, he even wrote a biography
of F.F. Proctor, Vaudeville Pioneer in 1943 in the midst of
his greatest contribution to entertainment, Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman - An Innovation by William Moulton Marston as Charles
Moulton:
A culmination of all that had come before
Marston's was schooled in the Greek and Roman classics as a young
man. He also was intimately and personally involved with
earliest movements for women's rights to birth control, women's
rights to vote, women's rights to work... he was most definitely a
champion for women. Gloria Steinem acknowledges his
contributions to herself and to women, many years after Marston's
death, when she published the first issue of Ms. Magazine.
Knowing that, it is no surprise that William Moulton Marston's most
famous work is the creation of the comic book heroine, Wonder
Woman.
  Wonder
Woman emerges on the scene in December 1941 in #8 of the All
Star Comics (picture on the left). Her picture was not on the
cover in 1941. She is not even mentioned in the publicity.
She arrived without fanfare. She debuts on the cover in 1942.
She is created and brilliantly presented with Greek and Roman
goddess archetypes, she uses a lasso for truth, anther heroic
behaviors have will, power, and the use of the behavioral style
dimensions of DISC, dominance, influence, submission, and compliance, to accomplish her missions. Much has been contrived
about a sexual bondage connection to some of Wonder Woman's
behaviors. They are simply from those who forget that William
Moulton Marston wrote not only for entertainment, but he wrote to
get a message across. Wonder Woman gained front page
Sensation Comics presentation in January 1942 (picture on right and
it only took her a few months to become so popular that DC Comics
gave her own issue in the Summer of 1942.
 It
would seem that neither Max Gaines of DC Comics nor William Moulton
Marston were absolutely certain how a female heroine would be
accepted. Max Gaines put her in the back of a comic at first
and William Moulton Marston, a well-known psychologist, used a pen
name writing as Charles Moulton. They need not have worried.
She was a hit.
Wonder Woman remains
a popular model and heroine and in 2007 we will enjoy a new
reintroduction in the movies theaters of our classic goddess
creation of Marston's. Marston's legacy continues.
There's more to come on that too....
Summary
We
delight in the contributions of Marston. If there were only
one sentence to describe this big, jolly, laughing, outgoing
innovative genius it would be: "William Moulton Marston simply
had enough love to go around." He had enough love for everyone
and/or everything in his life.
William Moulton Marston was a lawyer
graduating from Harvard in 1918,
and he changed the criminal justice system forever with a machine.
He introduced major prison reform. He was a man, and he was
America’s first feminist in print syndication. He promoted smart
women. He was drawn to them. He never owned a successful business,
but was called upon by industry to consult using the first forms of
applied psychology to business. He believed smart, powerful women
had magic powers and he worked beside them in the field of
psychology that did not welcome women. Marston was intimately
acquainted with the movement to allow women to practice birth
control and to vote. Women fighting against restraint influenced
every belief and action of 40 years of his life
He was a
psychologist, who believed all people were “normal.” What we see on
our movie screens and the colors in which we see it were initiated
by Marston. How radio and media words come to our ears were
influenced by this unique man. He worked with and supported
his best friend; they changed journalism and introduced the
self-help book industry. What we read in the back section of our
daily newspapers was changed by his venture into comics for adults.
Marston was part of the first research group who tracked the
chemical messengers in the brain and proposed that it was an
imbalance of electrical impulses and chemicals. Bill wrote one of
the first historical novels. He lived the “sixties” half a century
before his peers, and with as little public appreciation of those
lifestyle choices. Marston left indelible, dramatic footprints in
time as he stepped outside the common path of man to tread with
angels. We benefit.
