High-I.Q. societies continue to give a modicum of fascination to me. Whenever I think the trail ends, other people come forward and present new information and material. In general, where one finds individuals with numerical, spatial, verbal, or reasoning talent, or all of the aforementioned, one tends to find individuals in professions demanding intellectual facility. When others want, typically, a digital community, a safe space for communication, correspondence, and the like; the high-I.Q. communities give such place for quiet felicity in interaction with the like-talented.
Publications, in this sense, provide a platform for the members to show talents, interests, thoughts, and productions. A short-form list of found publications will be listed at the end of the article. This resource will be built on the listing of non-defunct societies listed in” World Intelligence Network Addendum I – Non-Defunct Societies Membership” with some extensions.

The overlay following this listing will incorporate descriptive commentary for some societies based on the listing followed by newer resources outside of the previous listing:
1. The Cogito Society
No found publication for The Cogito Society.
2. The International High IQ Society of Nathan Haselbauer
Duly note, Nathan Haselbauer is deceased. He committed suicide. The International High IQ Society appears functional with some provisions for members regarding correspondence and discussion, while no formally listed publication, as follows:
When you join IHIQS, you get a membership certificate and you can become a part of our online community to participate in forum discussions, learn from top experts, connect with intelligent people and advance yourself.
We have a private online forum at our website and are available on Facebook as well as LinkedIn and Instagram. We currently have no offline events, but other members may well live close by. As long as you “kick the ball and not the player”, you will find yourself in an open-minded environment where you are allowed to kick the ball quite hard.
You do not have access to a representative publication. You have access to a private online forum, Meta/Facebook discussions, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
3. The Deep Brain Society of Anna Maria Santoro and Vincenzo D’Onofrio
A publication, Profondamente (DeepBrain Society Magazine/DeepBrain Magazine), is listed with the Executive Editor, Anna Maria Santoro. Contributors are not remunerated for submissions. This may be a pervasive fact with high-I.Q. society publications. Two issues have been published: 2010 and June, 2012.
4. Mensa Society of Lancelot Ware and Roland Berrill
Mensa World Journal is the flagship international publication of ‘Mensa Society’ or Mensa International. It replaced the International Journal in 2013.
5. The High Potentials Society of Max Tiefenbacher
There is a listed point or not to a Society Magazine. However, finding a hyperlink to such a point of reference is not present, perhaps, this remains only accessible to members. I hold no formal memberships in any high-I.Q. society, as I take this as an independent journalistic endeavour. Thus, a publication or magazine may exist, though the access may be restricted to members and not the general public.
6. Intertel of Ralph Haines
Intertel has a flagship publication, Integra. Its members are encouraged to contribute to it. They state, “Because members of Intertel are so geographically widespread, communication is very important. All members are encouraged to contribute to Integra, the Journal of Intertel, published ten times a year. In addition, regional newsletters are published periodically, and many members correspond via e-mail or a growing variety of online forums. There is an annual gathering (this year in Prague), and the various regions schedule social activities.”
7. The Top One Percent Society (TOPS) of Dr. Ronald K. Hoeflin
Termite is the official publication of TOPS. It appears as if limited to members.
8. The Colloquy Society of Julia Cachia
A flagship publication does not appear available. However, a series of articles are open for reading to an interested community.
9. The CIVIQ Society of Dr. Evangelos Katsioulis
No individual publication appears to exist for The CIVIQ Society. However, its umbrella World Intelligence Network’s flagship publication is Phenomenon.
10. The Glia Society of Paul Cooijmans
Thoth is its flagship publication. The Glia Society website states, “The journal “Thoth” is available only to members and appears in digital format. It guarantees absolute freedom of speech and has no editorial changes or censorship of any kind. Thoth is filled with members’ submissions, and occasionally contains material by others.
Thoth has a variable number of pages of A5 size. Images are frequently included.
Thoth is named after the Egyptian moon god, who weighed the hearts of the deceased to determine if they would be admitted to the hereafter or, if the examination was failed, torn apart by a monster. Thoth is also the name used by the future Grail Society member.”
11. International Society for Philosophical Enquiries/International Society for Philosophical Inquiry (ISPE) of Christopher Harding
Telicom is its flagship publication. It has a robust presentation online as a provision for its membership. This appears to be – out of the 11 examined so far – one of the more publicly well-presented publications.
12. The Triple Nine Society (TNS) of Richard Canty, Dr. Ronald Hoeflin, Ronald Penner, Edgar Van Vleck, and Kevin Langdon
Vidya is the official publication of the Triple Nine Society. It states, “Vidya content is exclusively provided by members. There are personal stories and experiences, semi-scientific articles, puzzles, pictures, poems, news about the society – and everything in-between. Below are some articles that will hopefully give you an impression of the diversity you can expect in TNS. And they are good reads, too.”
13. The AtlantIQ Society of Beatrice Rescazzi and Moreno Casalegno
Leonardo is the official publication of the AtlantIQ Society. It has 48 issues to date. It amounts to a multi-society publication hosted on the new AtlantIQ Society website. They state, “These are the issues of the new Leonardo – the magazine of the AtlantIQ Society, STHIQ Society and the Creative Genius Society – and the previous AtlantIQ Society Members’ Magazine issues. They are freely readable and downloadable by everyone.
This is a multimedia magazine: you can click on photos and links to know more about the article you are reading.

47. Tera Society of R. Young
Minds that Matter is the publication with one issue in October, 2014 by Editor Moira Greyland.
The shorthand of this listing of 47 with publications can be cut down. The total of 47, in reality, has about 21 discernible publications. While, within a little bit of analysis, these have plenty of replication. So, even further, the 21 would, in fact, be fewer. To start, those 21 would be the following:
The Deep Brain Society of Anna Maria Santoro and Vincenzo D’Onofrio has the publication Profondamente (DeepBrain Society Magazine/DeepBrain Magazine).
Mensa Society of Lancelot Ware and Roland Berrill has the publication Mensa World Journal.
Intertel of Ralph Haines has the publication Integra.

The EpIQ Society of Chris Chsioufis has the publication IQ Nexus Journal.
The Infinity International Society (IIS) of Jeffrey Osgood has the publication IQ Nexus Journal.
Epimetheus Society of Dr. Ronald K. Hoeflin may have the publication Termite.
HELLIQ Society of Dr. Evangelos Katsioulis has the publication Phenomenon.
Prometheus Society of Dr. Ronald K. Hoeflin has the publication Gift of Fire.
Mega Society of Dr. Ronald K. Hoeflin has the publication Noesis: The Journal of the Mega Society.
Omega Society of Dr. Ronald K. Hoeflin may have the publication Termite.

GIGA Society of Paul Cooijmans has the publication Nemesis.
Grail Society of Paul Cooijmans has the publication G.

Yet, when looking at these 21 without replication and with more recent activity, we find 10:
- Mensa World Journal.
- Thoth.
- Telicom.
- Vidya.
- Leonardo.
- Phenomenon.
- Gift of Fire.
- Noesis: The Journal of the Mega Society.
- Perfection.

Even eliminating ones only meant for once new membership arrives or has clear presentation to the public or to the membership, we have fewer in number with 8:
- Mensa World Journal.
- Thoth.
- Telicom.
- Vidya.
- Leonardo.
- Phenomenon.
- Gift of Fire.
- Noesis: The Journal of the Mega Society.

Deus VULT listed as a semi-newsletter in the first issue and as a journal in the latest issue. USIA Research Journal listed as published irregularly.

If incorporating these with the list of 8, we have 11 active high-I.Q. publications with variations in provisions, rarities, frequency, length, style, content, and tone:
2. Thoth.
3. Telicom.
4. Vidya.
5. Leonardo.
6. Phenomenon.
