International Society for Intelligence Research

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] 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".[5]

The society runs the journal Intelligence.
