History

The first issue of the journal was published in January 1977, with Douglas K. Detterman of Case Western Reserve University as editor-in-chief. In 2016, Detterman was replaced by Richard J. Haier. [6]

In August 2024, Elsevier began a review of work published in its journals, including Intelligence and Personality and Individual Differences , written by Richard Lynn. This review coincided with renewed attention towards scientific racism in academia, and specifically calls for much of Lynn's work to be retracted. [7]

In early 2025, Haier was replaced as editor-in-chief by Dragoș Iliescu and Samuel Greiff. [8]
