International Society for Intelligence Research
The International Society for Intelligence Research is a scientific society for researchers in human intelligence. It was founded by Douglas K. Detterman of the University of Alabama in 2000.
The society advocates for ongoing support for scientific research on cognitive ability. In 2018, an article by New Statesman documented examples of the society and its members advocating scientific racism and eugenics. The article states that while the society includes many prominent and well-respected scientists, some of its members, publications, and events have also promoted ideas characterized by New Statesman as "racist pseudo-science".
The society runs the journal Intelligence.Presidents
