Looking up one of the phrases from Langdon's statistical report ("Four Sigma Members") led me briefly to the rabbit hole of high-IQ societies, of which there seem to be many.
Neat little interview here with Ronald Hoeflin, who habitually organizes high-IQ societies: https://in-sightpublishing.com/2022/02/28/an-interview-with-dr-ronald-k-hoeflin-on-high-iq-societies-titles-rarities-and-purposes-and-personal-judgment-and-evaluations-of-them-part-two-by-scott-jacobsen/ https://in-sightpublishing.com/2022/02/28/an-interview-with-...
Hope he is doing well. Sounds like he has spent a very long time working on an Encyclopedia of Categories ( https://www.usiassociation.org/post/encyclopedia-of-categories-volume-4 https://www.usiassociation.org/post/encyclopedia-of-categori... ).
- graemep 2y agoIts not clear to me what the purpose of the high IQ societies Hoeflin founded was other than to give him a prominent role that he did not have at Mensa. > I was also very shy and unable to put myself forward socially in Mensa groups. At the higher-IQ levels, however, I had the prominent role of editor and even founder Its not my experience of Mensa which mostly operates in small groups. I just do not find people having a high IQ necessarily gives them a great deal in common.
