8 Clubs You Probably Couldn't Join
It seems that mensa is for simpletons, the most well known high-iq society on earth is actually at the bottom of the pile when it comes to intelligence based clubs, a world presumably filled with a huge amount of back-slapping and cryptic in-jokes, and is probably scoffed at by members of other clubs whose mere existence is baffling to normal humans.
name: Mensa
iq required for entry: 132
percentage of the population who would fail: 98%
number of members: approx. 100,000
At first glance the numbers look impressive. An iq of 132 is more than respectable and to be in the top 2% is good going.
Until you look at these
8. Ultranet
iq required: 164
percentile: 99.997%
members: <100
7. Prometheus Society
iq required: 164
percentile: 99.997%
members: 65
6. Helliq Society
iq required: 164
percentile: 99.997%
members: 39
5. Mega Society
iq required: 176
percentile: 99.9999%
members: 26
4. Pi Society
iq required: 176
percentile: 99.9999%
members: 8
3. Pars Society
iq required: 180
percentile: 99.99997%
members: 37
2. Olympiq Society
iq required: 180
percentile: 99.99997%
members: 12
1. Giga Society
iq required: 196
percentile: 99.9999999%
members: 7
To put that into some kind of perspective, the Giga Society is so difficult to gain entry to that approximately 6 out of every 6 billion people on earth are eligible.
