 Triple Nine Society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Triple Nine Society (TNS) is a voluntary association of individuals who have scored at or above the 99.9th percentile on specific IQ tests (or similar) under supervised conditions.
This contrasts with Mensa International, the more well-known and larger society for persons with high IQ which admits those who score at or above the 98th percentile.
TNS also uses high scores on other standardized tests as the basis for admission, including some certain results – albeit on a different scale.

 ISPE General Information
Once in the Society, the member is encouraged to apply for promotion based upon contemporary personal achievement and contributions to the general welfare of society.
The Society is therefore an institution for advanced studies, original research and high achievement, for which a demonstrated high level of intellect is merely an entrance requirement.
Because the ISPE is a society, not a journal subscription service, enrollees are not considered full members with the right to vote until promotion to Member is achieved, whereby they demonstrate their commitment to achievement and service to others.

Nineteenth century enquiry into magic and gnosis has often attempted to sanitize the subject by creating philosophical versus superstitious distinctions within the field when such distinctions, (some adopted by esoteric practioners themselves in due course) are not evidenced in the materials themselves.
As the number of disciplinary and mission-oriented societies grew, the number of periodicals where an individual paper could be published increased, resulting in an ever wider dispersion of the literature.
In a similar vein, human societies must adjust the relationships of all components of their institutions to avoid the trump of entropy, the collapse of the economy, and with it, the possible loss of the current form of civilized life.

The International Mensa website (www.mensa.org) also gives addresses etc of a number of similar societies which have high requirements on IQ.
Let us consider briefly what is involved in constructing an ordinary IQ test; the psychometrist decides on a set of items to be submitted to the subjects; he then puts together a correlation matrix the elements of which give the correlations between pairs of items.
The societies for the allegedly extremely intelligent, particularly the ones with vanishingly small memberships should be treated with the same tolerance as other groups of cranks.

 High-IQ Societies and the Tests They Accept for Admission Purposes (1)
I believe that study of the history of the societies is important as a way of educating society members about the manipulation of public opinion by certain members with a craving for power that has wracked and nearly wrecked the societies time and again.
A proprietary society is a society operated by one or a few individuals, not through democratic institutions.
A repressive society is one in which there may or may not be nominally democratic institutions but control is firmly in the hands of a ruling clique which seeks to impose its will on the membership, especially through restrictions on free speech.

 A Short (and Bloody) History of the High I.Q. Societies
Admission to this society, founded 3 months after Mensa was founded in the U.K., was based on College Admission tests to the University of California at Berkeley, which was similar to the American College Admission exams later taken by American students across the USA in the late 1940's.
The MM Society (also known as "Double M") was founded in 1966 as a Mensa's Mensa, with the intent of accepting at the top 50th of the top 50th (one-in-2500) percentile.
The Exa Society is a name suggested by Richard May in the August 1983 issue of Vidya, the journal of the Triple Nine Society, as a society that would accept only one entity per 10-to-the-15th power, meant as a parody of the "Mega" Society's name.

As a curiosity it can be mentioned that the famous english philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell sometimes interpreted Nietzsche's overman as a person with an IQ of at least 180 (Actually Russell considered himself to have this IQ!).
Instead you use a statistical mean value of 100 for the average number of correct answers for a representative adult group of people (Deviation IQ).

Modern notions of this problem are founded on the premises Descartes applied in the 17th century: (1) Mind is a spiritual entity; (2) body is a material entity; and (3) spirit and matter can't interact.
Because the mind-body problem depends on these premises, philosophers have tried to solve the problem primarily with semantic methods.

 The Memphis Flyer: Being There - July 2, 1998
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.
