Christopher Richard Brand (born in Preston, England, 1 June 1943) is a British psychological and psychometric researcher who gained media attention for his statements on race and intelligence and paedophilia.〔Holden, Constance (22 August 1997). Controversial Academic Gets the Axe. ''Science'' 22 August 1997: 1045. 〕 Brand is a proponent of IQ testing and the general intelligence factor and was "a major influence in the spread of influence of inspection time as a theoretically interesting correlate of psychometric intelligence," according to Ian Deary and Pauline Smith in ''the International Handbook of Intelligence'', edited by Robert Sternberg.〔Beck, Joan (3 November 1982). Testing the Intelligence Quotient. ''The News and Courier''〕 Deary and Smith report the correlation of inspection time with psychometric intelligence is currently considered to be .4.〔Deary and Smith 2004 p. 15.〕 The 25th anniversary of the original discovery of this relationship was observed in 2001 by a special issue of ''Intelligence''.〔Deary and Smith 2004 p. 14. Original discovery was by Nettelbeck and Lally.〕 Confirmation of Brand's claim of a specially high IT/IQ correlation in the low-IQ range was provided in Tucker-Drob, 2009, Developmental Psychology (psychometrics). ==Life and career== Brand went to Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School for Boys, and is a graduate of The Queen's College, Oxford, and a 1968–1970 Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford. He was a Lecturer at University of Edinburgh, from 1970 to 1997, teaching in personality, psychopathology and philosophical problems and researching in factorial psychology. In the 1980s he served on the United Kingdom's Council for National Academic Awards. His 1996 book ''The g Factor'' garnered considerable media attention with its claim that inherited general intelligence was like psychological money. Brand wrote that general intelligence is an important factor in determining life outcomes for those with lower scores. He attributes socio-economic differences among people of African descent to differences in general intelligence. Brand is a Fellow of the Galton Institute. From 2000 to 2004, Brand was a research consultant to the Woodhill Foundation and its CRACK programme based in Baltimore, Maryland, which pays drug-addicted mothers $200 to be sterilised.〔Editorial staff (4 August 2003). The guise of caring. ''Greensboro News & Record''〕 His recent thinking can be sampled via his reviews at Amazon Books,() his articles in American Renaissance and The Occidental Quarterly, his (co-authored) chapter 'Why ignore the g factor?'〔Brand CR, Constales D (1997). Why ignore the g factor? Historical considerations. In Nyborg, H. (ed.) The Scientific Study of General Intelligence: Tribute to Arthur Jensen. Pergamon, ISBN 978-0-08-043793-4〕 and his decade-long blog ("IQ & PC"). His review of Buchanan's ''Playing with Fire'' was published in the journal ''Intelligence'' and at http://bussorah.tripod.com/ulysses.html in 2011.〔Brand, Chris (2011). "Psychology's Ulysses wins through". ''Intelligence'', Volume 39, Issue 1, January–February 2011, pp. 74–75, 〕 Brand has three children and has been married to his third wife since 2001. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chris Brand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
