It seems that Emil Kirkegaard is not only visiting the International Society for Intelligence Research (ISIR) conference in Zurich this year, he gave a presentation, "Imputing intelligence data into existing datasets using the MMPI." He claimed to be representing the "Arthur Jensen Institute."
The evidence of Kirkegaard's participation was originally posted by RiotIQ in a tweet.
But then the tweet was deleted. Fortunately the evidence remains.
Here is the archived tweet, and here is the photo from the original tweet, below.
It's only been two years since Abdel Abdellaoui made a big fuss about Kirkegaard's presence at ISIR conferences, writing:
Two weeks before the ISIR conference, the preliminary speaker program was shared with the speakers. I noticed that one of the scheduled speakers was a notorious (Abdellaoui provides a link to the Rational Wiki article about Kirkegaard) individual, known for an unhealthy obsession for trying to prove that race differences in IQ and other social traits were due to inborn and immutable genetic differences. Besides a reputation for sloppy scientific work in dubious journals, he was also well known for an obnoxious social media presence, regularly posting messages and memes denigrating a wide range of marginalized groups. This behavior has garnered him a large following of, largely anonymous, online fans. He is a leading figure and major contributor to the bad reputation of intelligence and genetics research. On top of this reputation, this individual has never been part of any credible research program, PhD program, or university, which made it all the more surprising to me that he was invited to speak at the same academic conference as me. I decided to publicly cancel my talk, as I did not want to be associated with this individual.
My theory is that Kirkegaard got an assist from Emily Willoughby a member of the ISIR board.
Last year Willoughby, along with another ISIR affiliate James Lee received a half-million dollars from the "Institute of Mental Chronometry." The institute, closely aligned with the ISIR, was founded by Arthur Jensen and the ISIR itself is basically a continuation of Jensenism. The Institute of Mental Chronometry could be called the "Arthur Jensen Institute" since that's essentially what it is.
As recently as May of this year, Willoughby was listed as affiliated with the University of Minnesota, but her page is empty now. But who needs a real job when the ISIR is your sugar daddy?
Willoughby has been quite chummy with Emil Kirkegaard on Twitter over the years.
Fun fact: Emil Kirkegaard is a meme.
But what about this mysterious "Arthur Jensen Institute" that Kirkegaard claims affiliation with?
He doesn't mention the name on any of his online media. Not on Substack, nor his Twitter profile, nor his personal domain site, nor his Google scholar page, nor on Research Gate, nor on Scopus nor on the ISIR's journal "Intelligence" where Kirkegaard has published several times. And it's not mentioned on Kirkegaard's Arthur Robert Jensen memorial site.
It is mentioned in his Open Psych website profile page. But the link doesn't go to a website for the Arthur Jensen Foundation, it just goes to another list of papers.
Another mention is the Ulster Institute for Social Research founded by racist Richard Lynn but according to a letter from the UI, Kirkegaard is not actually affiliated with that organization.
Meanwhile Kirkegaard has been fleeing the law because he owes Oliver Smith over $34K from a legal dispute, and he spent some time with neo-Nazis in Germany. The racist freaks at the Substack-platformed Aporia are doing everything they can to help Kirkegaard in his personal legal dispute.
Kirkegaard was also in the news recently for his business affairs: White Supremacist Who Wants Legal Child Porn Doing Business Through Wyoming LLC.
In short, Emil Kirkegaard is a perfect match for the racist ghoul organization International Society for Race Pseudoscience Intelligence Research.
