Summary:► The work of Richard Lynn. ► Antisocial versus responsible behavior. ► International comprehensiveness. ► Ethnic and personality differences in conscientiousness. ► Pigmentocratic. The scientific style of Lynn is described and includes his tenacity combined with his creativity, his research intuition, and his ability to politely correct the scientifically incorrect. His empirical and theoretical contributions to conscientiousness as a function of intelligence, race, and psychopathic personality in an evolutionary context are described and discussed. This is related to his work on pigmentocracy and to recent research showing more aggression in dark animals and humans. Suggestions for measurement of psychopathic personalities are offered.
