Philosophy:International Society for Intelligence Research

From HandWiki

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.[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]

The society runs the journal Intelligence.
