INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES (ISSID)

The purpose of this Society is to foster research on individual differences in temperament, intelligence, attitudes and abilities.

To promote this purpose, the Society produces scientific papers and organizes scientific meetings to discuss and exchange information and ideas relevant to the measurement, structure, dynamics and biological bases of individual differences.
