Thomas R. Coyle

Tom is the Past President of ISIR. He is Professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at San Antonio, and his research explores the validity of cognitive tests and general intelligence (g). Current projects examine (a) the predictive power of standardized tests (SAT, ACT, PSAT, ASVAB); (b) the contribution of basic processes (processing speed and working memory) to g; (c) group differences in g and cognitive abilities; and (d) the predictive power of g and non-g factors (e.g., ability tilt and tech tilt) at school and work.
