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 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 some prominent and well-respected scientists, its members, publications, and events have each also promoted ideas characterized by New Statesman as "racist pseudo-science".[5]
