Richard J. Haier is an American psychologist who has researched a neural basis for human intelligence, psychometrics, general intelligence, and sex and intelligence.

Haier is a professor emeritus in the Pediatric Neurology Division of the School of Medicine at University of California, Irvine. He has a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University. He is also the editor-in-chief of the journal Intelligence since 2016.^[1]

In 1994, he was one of 52 signatories on "Mainstream Science on Intelligence", an editorial written by the American psychologist Linda Gottfredson and published in the Wall Street Journal, which was presented as a summary of findings from intelligence research, especially as they related to issues raised in The Bell Curve.^[2]

He has worked with Rex Jung on the parieto-frontal integration theory (P-FIT) which uses neuro-imaging to examine the neuroscience of intelligence.^[3]
