International Society for Intelligence Research

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from ISIR)

The International Society for Intelligence Research (ISIR) is a scientific society for researchers in human intelligence.[1][2] It was founded by Douglas K. Detterman of Case Western Reserve University in 2000.[3]

The society advocates for ongoing support for scientific research on cognitive ability, supporting early career researchers, advocating for intelligence, student scholarships, and hosting an annual conference.[4] A 2018 New Statesman article called two editors of Intelligence "eugenicists" and that ISIR conferences have included speakers who are part of "the infiltration of mainstream academia by eugenicists".[5]

Until 2023, Intelligence was the journal of the society. With the advent of additional journals focussed on the topic it has become agnostic to recommending a single journal.
