Memorializes James (Jim) R. Flynn (1934-2020). Jim was one of psychology's most influential thinkers even though he was not a psychologist, receiving a PhD in 1958 in politics and moral philosophy at the University of Chicago. At the time of his death, Jim was Emeritus Professor of Politics at the University of Otago in New Zealand. Over the course of his career, Jim amassed several high impact papers and books, including his two Psychological Bulletin articles, "Massive IQ Gains in 14 Nations: What IQ Tests Really Measure" and "The Mean IQ of Americans: Massive Gains 1932-1978." In 2019, in A Book Too Risky to Publish: Free Speech and Universities, he mounted a brilliant defense of free speech. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
