Mensa is for puny minds

http://www.gigasociety.org/gigaweb.htm

Portal of Evil has a file on this web page. It is the Giga society, and it only accepts IQs of 196, or basically the 99.9999999th percentile. That's one in a billion. The society has six members, enough for a decent poker game.


The test that the founder of this society created is just plain insane, you can see it at:

It seems that the sole purpose of this hi IQ society is to gloat.

If I worked in the mental health field, I bet I could get a dozen or so idiot savants to take their test and successfully pass it. I could then fill their exclusive little club with a great crowd

Possible correction: The society might be one in a million, not a billion, as said by this web site that catalogs tests for high percentile nerds:

Edit again: The Mega society has one in a million geeks, the Giga really does shoot for one in a billion.
