-----------------------------------------

Since early in his career, Roberto was very keen to study human intelligence and related psychological traits. He has been influenced by researchers such as Earl B. Hunt, Patrick C. Kyllonen, Hans J. Eysenck, Arthur R. Jensen, James R. Flynn, Richard J. Haier, and Paul M. Thompson to name some of them.

He is currently Professor of Differential Psychology at the Dpt. of Biological and Health Psychology (UAM) and he has been teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and supervising PhD students since 1990 (many of whom are now teachers and researchers).

He has authored 16 books (technical and for a general audience), edited 6 books, and published more than 170 peer-reviewed articles.

Perhaps the key feature of his history as a scientist is the large network of collaborations with research groups around the globe (known by his close colleagues as the Colom-Wealth)  including Europe, North America, South America, and Asia.

This has stimulated a broad scope of interests going from the psychometric analysis of psychological traits, its cognitive foundations, and its biological basis (mainly through the application of innovative neuroimaging research tools).

These wide interests produced publications in scientific journals such as Intelligence, PAID, NeuroImage, Brain, PNAS, Human Brain Mapping, Brain Structure and Function, Memory & Cognition, Journal of Anatomy, SCAN, Neuropsychologia, and Computers and Education, to name some of them.

He has also done applied research in areas including mental disability, crime behavior, personnel selection (ATC), and test development.

He has been invited as keynote speaker by scientific associations such as International Society for the Study of Individual Differences (ISSID), International Society for Intelligence Research (ISIR), World Association for Personality Psychology (WAPP), European Association of Psychological Assessment (EAPA), Sociedad Española de Psicología (SEP), and Asociación Iberoamericana para la Investigación de las Diferencias Individuales (AIIDI) to name some of them. 

Prof. Colom is on the Editorial Board of ‘Intelligence’ and 'Journal of Intelligence', and he acts as reviewer for several scientific outlets.

He was a founding member of the Iberian-American Society for the Study of Individual Differences (1996) and served as President-Elect from 2006 to 2011.

He is a member of the International Society for Intelligence Research (ISIR) .

The mass media often request his opinion on a variety of psychological topics.
