62 papers were published in Mankind Quarterly in 2017, according to ProQuest. Of these, only 7 of them were cited even once on ProQuest. 6 of these 7 papers were each cited only once, while the other one was cited twice.
And in 2016? We need to include 2016 data because impact factors are based on 2 years of data: "the impact factor of a journal is calculated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years".
Doing the same search as above for 2016 and 2017 yields 115. Of these articles, as of today (10/9/18), only 8 of them had been cited at all. Each of them was cited once except for one which had been cited 3 times. Anyway, this yields a total of (7*1)+3=10 citations, which when divided by 115 citable articles yields 0.087--lower than any academic journal impact factor I have seen in almost five years of editing and creating Wikipedia articles on this subject (the one I like to use for comparison is Psychological Reports because its IF is always pretty low; yet even it has an IF of 0.667, which is almost eight times that of MQ based on these estimates).
Let's look in more detail at these 10 citations. The number of citations and the journals in which they appeared are as follows:
4 for Personality and Individual Differences
1 for the book "Cognitive capitalism: Human capital and the wellbeing of nations" by Heiner Rindermann
1 for a dissertation
2 for Intelligence
2 for Journal of Individual Differences
