Life

Ian Deary attended Hamilton Academy in Lanarkshire from 1966 to 1971 . He studied psychology and medicine at the University of Edinburgh, where he did his PhD in 1992.

He became known for his follow-up examinations (2004) of people who participated in the Scottish Mental Surveys in 1932 and 1947 . All children born in 1921 who attended Scottish schools on June 1, 1932 (about 87,000) were examined. They were doing the Moray House test . From 1997, the media searched for survivors of this investigation and found almost 600 who subsequently took the Moray House test and Raven's matrix test again between 1998 and 2001 . A stability of individual differences in IQ of about r = .66 was determined and correlates such as mortality were also examined. This is one of the longest longitudinal studies with a very large sample, which has a special position in the history of intelligence research.
