High-IQ
Societies
One High-IQ organization that has no entrance requirements is
the Vitruvian Society.
Individuals with IQs of 132 or above may
join Mensa upon presentation of qualifying test results. Individuals
with IQs of 137+ are eligible to join organizations such as TOPS
(Top One Percent Society) and Intertel.
An IQ of 141 and above will admit them to Colloquy.
Those with IQs of 150+ qualify for
membership in the Triple-Nine Society,
the SesquIQ, the IQuadrivium
Society and the One-in-a-Thousand
(OATH) Society, those with IQs of 164 or above are potential candidates
for the Prometheus Society and the
Ultranet, and those rare specimens
with IQs above 176 are welcomed into the Mega and
Pi Societies. There is even
a Giga Society
for the handful of people in the world (six) who qualify at the one-in-a-billion
level. Needless to say, at the one-in-a-million level,
the membership roster is somewhat exiguous.
Some of these organizations
are also open to subscribers. Subscribers are not allowed to vote,
but they may participate in the fascinating dialogues that take
place within these societies.
