 | | The One-in-A-Thousand (OATH) Society, IQuadrivium, The Triple Nine Society, and the International Society for Philosophical Enquiry (ISPE) all require IQs at the 99.9th percentile for membership (an IQ of 150, or 1 in 1,000). |
 | | Other novel IQ-based societies include the Prometheus Society (1 in 30,000); Energeia, the Christian high IQ society; and Densa a society whose Web page, complete with parody IQ test, declares that fully 999 out of 1,000 people will make the cut. |
 | | Far more amusing than Densa, however, is Giga, the society whose Web page advertises free membership for anyone clocking an IQ of 196 or one-in-a-billion. |
