 On using multiple tests for high IQ society admissions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Most high IQ societies advertise that they select their members at a certain percentile level from the general population: the top two percent for Mensa, the top one percent for Intertel, the top one-tenth of one percent for ISPE and Triple Nine, and so on.
Because a society that gives two tests and allows admission if a candidate passes either one is actually selecting the top 3.83 percent, this is equivalent to giving a test with super-high reliability and selecting at an IQ of 129 or above, rather than 132 (on a 16 sigma scale).
Had the society instead required the candidate to pass both tests at the two percent level, it would have been equivalent to using a super-high reliability test to select at 146 IQ.

Tribal society is virtually delayed civilization, and the savages are a sort of contemporaneous ancestry.--WILLIAM I. There are four historical layers underlying the minds of civilized men--the animal mind, the child mind, the savage mind, and the traditional civilized mind.

The History of IQ The French government had commissioned a man named Binet to devise a test that would enable the school authorities to determine which students "could but wouldn´t" and which "just couldn´t." Thus, the first intelligence test was born.
The IQ was determined by dividing mental age by chronological age, moving the decimal point two places to the right, and adding one or two zeros as necessary.
It has been said that a 140 IQ is a "genius" score, however there is no definition, as such, in either of my psychological dictionaries about "genius." Neither is there an IQ score ranked as "genius." That 140 IQ is actually a misunderstanding.

IQ is pretty bogus, and I've always thought high-IQ clubs were about as useful to society as long-dick clubs or white-skin clubs.
IQ tests are, to put it lightly, a giant fucking mess, thanks to misapplication and overgenerality, as well as fuzziness on what actually constitutes intelligence.
Same as in a IQ test, if your answer isn't counted the whole IQ test is flawed, no matter if the answer was wrong or right because what matters is that all the variables (your answer) are counted and evaluated.

I also asked him about the shades of elitism attached to high IQ societies, and he said that by lowering the entrance bar the IHIQS was less elitist than some, and anyway wasn't really elitist at all, 'although obviously there is some cachet involved in joining an exclusive club'.
