The society advocates for ongoing support for scientific research on cognitive ability, supporting early career researchers, advocating for intelligence, student scholarships, and hosting an annual conference.{{Cite web|url=http://www.isironline.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Constitution.pdf|title=ISIR Bylaws|date=10 June 2014|access-date=15 September 2018}} A 2018 New Statesman article called two editors of Intelligence "eugenicists" and that ISIR conferences have included speakers who are part of "the infiltration of mainstream academia by eugenicists".{{cite news |last1=Van Der Merwe |first1=Ben |title=It might be a pseudo science, but students take the threat of eugenics seriously |url=https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/education/2018/02/it-might-be-pseudo-science-students-take-threat-eugenics-seriously |access-date=6 September 2018 |work=New Statesman |date=19 February 2018 |language=en}}

Until 2023, Intelligence was the journal of the society. With the advent of additional journals focussed on the topic it has become agnostic to recommending a single journal.
