Prof. Hao was the first to introduce foreign theories of intelligence tests, psychometrics, educational psychology and corresponding empirical research methods into China, and to put them into teaching and research practice, particularly into the practice of psychological testing. Furthermore, he initiated and participated in the establishment of professional psychological associations and academic journals, playing a leading role in developing psychology discipline.
