What is the International High IQ Society?
Sunday, September 30, 2007

The International High IQ Society was founded in the spirit of the urban academies and intellectual salons that first sprang up during the European Enlightenment. These communities of amateur scholars were devoted to the casual pursuit of the arts and sciences, and their members represented the learned professions, merchants, writers, and artisans. After flourishing throughout Europe and North America, many of these communities were displaced by modern research universities and influential ...

Improving your IQ...
Thursday, January 17, 2008

First of all, I would like to wish you all the best for 2008 and thank you all for your interest in the 'International High IQ Society' hub. I hope you had a chance to take one of the IQ tests on http://www.highiqsociety.org/ and possibly belong to the 'cream of the crop' ;-) Please remember your IQ is not a fixed score. It is not something you are born with. Your brain is like your muscles - the more you exercise it, the stronger it will get. You can improve your IQ in many different ...

IQ Score Interpretation
Saturday, August 25, 2007

If you ever took a professional-proctored IQ test (e.g. WAIS-R or WAIS-III), then you should be aware your full-scale IQ consists of a verbal IQ and a performance IQ. Each of them emphasizes a different aspect of general intelligence. As you know, intelligence is much more complex than that and it cannot be summarized by a single figure. Nevertheless, it is indicative of how smart a person can be. The IQ scores on the WAIS-III are normed to an average of 100 and standard deviation of 15 ...

IQ and intelligence...
Tuesday, August 21, 2007

As you know, the intelligence level of individuals can be measured using an IQ test. Numerous IQ tests are available online, but one of the most widely-used adult tests is called the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III (WAIS-III), a psychologist-proctored test. The question you may be asking is how reliable all those IQ tests are and how they relate to your actual intelligence level. Please share your experience on this controversial topic...

Einstein's Enigma
Wednesday, October 10, 2007

Einstein wrote the following quiz last century. He claimed that 98% of the people in the world cannot solve the quiz. How about you? "There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. These 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink. Here's the question: Who owns the fish? 1. The Brit lives in a ...

Dim Sum
Friday, August 24, 2007

A bowl of dim sum contains forty noodles and is split between two people. Each person can take between one and six noodles per bite. If the first person to take the bite wants to guarantee he eats the last bite as well, how many noodles would he eat on his first bite? Source: 2006 World's Smartest Person Challenge

How does mainstream science view intelligence testing?
Thursday, November 1, 2007

This public statement, written and signed by 52 internationally known scholars, was published in the Wall Street Journal on December 13th, 1994 to clear up the major misconceptions the public has about intelligence testing. An alphabetical listing of the scholars and their home institutions are given at the end of the statement. Many commentators have offered opinions about human intelligence that misstate current scientific evidence. Some conclusions dismissed in the media as ...

OK, if you're so clever... (Part 2)
Tuesday, September 4, 2007

After McNaught, I met Guy Mayraz, a 31-year-old Israeli who has been in England for five years and has spent two of them organising the London Mensa Under-35s Group. Mayraz joined Mensa in June 2001 and found that most members at the social gatherings were older than he would have liked, so he took it upon himself to create a group that was happy to go to movies and pubs without wearing tweed. Mayraz, who runs his own software company, is one of about 26,000 Mensans in the UK (there are ...
