Emil, while looking through the ICA journal website, I noticed the following statement: IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT TOPICS WE DO NOT PUBLISH: We DO NOT consider submissions focused on AI algorithms, emotional intelligence, personality, or multiple intelligences unless they also include cognitive measures and hypotheses related to intelligence.

I do not know what is meant by personality. If psychometric research is to be featured, many human traits could be considered personality. For me, and probably most others, integrity is an essential human trait, but it could also be considered a personality.

Thanks for the information on the new intelligence journal.

"I suggested to some of them that they start a new journal with the same people at a more sensible publisher (also that this was a lesson in never to give over control to greedy capitalists)"

The adjective 'greedy' is superfluous. Note, I am for capitalism, but with severe, enforced restrictions.

I thought a quote from Doug Detterman was appropriate: Intelligence is the most important thing of all to understand, more important than the origin of the universe, more important than climate change, more important than curing cancer, more important than anything else. That is because human intelligence is our major adaptive function, and only by optimizing it will we be able to save ourselves and other living things from ultimate destruction. - Douglas Detterman ‘16

From the CA part of ICA, I hope to see psychometric research on positive human traits, other than intelligence, to identify causal DNA sequences.
