Sociol. vii. 103 When the true quantitative method is replaced by pseudomathematical imitations; when the method is misused and abused in various ways; when it is applied to phenomena which, so far, do not lend themselves to quantification..then the approach misfires... The contemporary stage of the psychosocial sciences can be properly called the age of quantophrenia and numerology.

1975 Times Lit. Suppl. 14 Feb. 162/5 Lundberg remains a sociologist honest and reflective enough to have tried to give ‘quantophrenia’ and testability..a firm intellectual base.
