Life as an LGBTI individual in most societies, including Canadian culture, remains a difficult hurdle for progress and mental wellness due more to external factors imposed rather than internal variables alone based on health statistics, experiences of violence and hate crimes statistics, laws against their being, and self-reports en masse. In British Columbia, we can see “LGBTQ+” or “LGBTQIA2S+.” It’s a patois. I use the United Nations terminology of LGBTI because of the United Nations LGBTI Core Group. It sets a baseline, as does some of this commentary. Within fundamentalist religious culture, in the land of the damned, individuals who are LGBTI, in some interpretations of Christian holy scripture become this by their nature. In others, they interpret the LGBTI as a relation to homosexual and other, typically, sexual acts. Those deemed sinful acts, not sinful beings or identities. For LGBTI individuals in Canada, this fact of self-identity and natural inclination or outgrowth becomes a factor in mental health, even suicide. Communities can do better. Theologies can march inclusively.

I do not subscribe to the ideas behind the language of “moving forward” or “progress” in some sense of the universe necessarily committing a deep care to human affairs in some absolute terms. If we select a reasonable timeline and contrast the treatment of select sectors, or if the comparison of material wealth and wellness conditions between centuries ago and now, then there has been technological complexification utilized for the improvement of human life. None of this changed fundamental human nature. Thus, material conditions may improve while human prototypicalities may maintain themselves for the same centuries of apparent technological sophistication, which becomes synonymous with “progress.”

In Canada, according to Egale, 500 Canadian youth (ages 10 to 24) die by suicide each year with support from Statistics Canada. They stipulated some further facts with appropriate references in the article entitled “What You Should Know About LGBTQI2S Youth Suicide in Canada“:

• 33% of LGB youth have attempted suicide in comparison to 7% of youth in general (Saewyc 2007).
• Over half of GLB students (47% of GB males and 73% of LB females) have thought about suicide (Eisenberg & Resnick, 2006).
• In 2010, 47% of trans youth in Ontario had thought about suicide and 19% had attempted suicide in the preceding year (Scanlon, Travers, Coleman, Bauer, & Boyce, 2010).
• LGBTQ youth are 4 times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers (Massachusetts Department of Education, 2009).
• Adolescent youth who have been rejected by their families for being LGB are over 8 times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers (Ryan, Huebner, Diaz, & Sanchez, 2009).
• A study in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario revealed that 28% of transgender and Two Spirit people had attempted suicide at least once (Taylor, 2006).
• Both victims and perpetrators of bullying are at a higher risk for suicide than their peers. Children who are both victims and perpetrators of bullying are at the highest risk (Kim & Leventhal, 2008; “Suicide and bullying: Issue brief,” 2011).
• While suicide is never the result of one cause, bullying can have a long-lasting effect on suicide risk and mental health. The relationship between bullying and suicide is stronger for lesbian, gay and bisexual youth than for their heterosexual peers (Kim & Leventhal, 2008):
  • 68% of trans students, 55% of LB students and 42% of GB students reported being verbally harassed about their perceived gender identity or sexual orientation.
  • 20% of LGBTQ students reported being physically harassed or assaulted about their perceived gender identity or sexual orientation.
  • 49% of trans students, 33% of lesbian students and 40% of gay male students have experienced sexual harassment in school in the last year (Taylor et al. 2011).

A large number of LGBTI youth kill themselves in this country. They self-murder more than their peers for non-mystical, non-supernatural, non-spiritual reasons. They commit suicide due to stigma, shame, guilt, ostracism, lack of self-understanding, poor educational provisions, a condemnatory community, and/or prior mental health diagnoses. These particular youth are not the “damned.” One, the language lacks descriptive rigour. Two, the vernacular fails to take into account modern empirical and behavioural accounts of comprehensive health and wellness. They are the unrealized. Those with fewer pathways to express their real selves, to self-actualize in some meaningful sense.

When religious institutions, organizations, communities, or collectives, duly maltreat LGBTI youth, they put the lives of the youth at risk. This should be condemned. Because the individual is harmed peripherally or directly. This makes a natural claim about natural events rather than attributing some moral act to some transcendent and/or immanent identity. To attribute an identity of a moral act to a transcendent object, it does not make the act more established as ethical or not. It becomes a useless step. Religious communities can do better. Some of the more fundamentalist Christians can do better. Indeed, the Evangelical Christians can do better in providing for these LGBTI youth, including the institutions of private higher Christian learning. Those lone or few voices exist amongst the youth, the staff, the academics, and the administrative classes. Some fear making a public face with pro-LGBTI stances.

Not in all cases, in many, though, the LGBTI youth remain the aspersed, the banished, the denounced, the reprobated, even the self-hidden. To the last, unknown to others so long as to feel not known to themselves. A false self presented for communal consumption and individual self-murder: the forced into becoming the walking dead. If their God proclaims, “I am who I am,” then they whisper, “I am not who I am.” Those made in the image and likeness of their God. Those children loved infinitely. Those with a cosmic, objective plan for their little, subjective lives. Those coerced by community into rejecting a fundamental claim to reflective identity with YHWH. They cannot claim they are who they are with “I am who I am” because they must present a lie in the communion of fellow believers in public. A rejection of their union with the Most High. Some have been working against this at the premier Evangelical Christian institution of higher learning for the liberal arts in Canada, One TWU at Trinity Western University.

One TWU believes in equality for all and “LGBTQIA2S+ community members are in no way inferior, abnormal, or less than their heterosexual or cisgender counterparts.” They speak to the humanity of individuals as themselves and as the heterosexual and cisgender community as well. From their point of view, “…homophobia and transphobia are affronts to our Creator God. We stand in opposition to the stigmatisation of people who identify as Queer just as we stand in opposition to racism, sexism, and the like.” It’s an affirmation of fundamental humanity in a universalized language while taken to mean objective, as in an ‘affront to their Creator God.’ I disagree on the point of a necessary Creator God or on the claim to objectivity, while the universal nature of the moral message seems statistically true.

They consider Christian love as something deeply felt rather than something “characterized by condemnation and judgment” without regard to “how carefully worded or well intentioned the church’s statements on the LGBTQIA2S+ community may be.” They refer more to the “Community Covenant” of Trinity Western University.  One TWU continues, “While we accept that we will not always see eye to eye on every issue, we refuse to engage in judgment or tearing down one another. We will always seek to express discordant views in a way that respects the humanity of others.”

The community of One TWU, as an independently run group without formal affiliation with Trinity Western University, understands institutionalized rejection based on theology because of existence on the receiving end of it. Yet, they still have the conscientiousness and love to speak in these terms, “We believe reconciliation and healing is needed to bridge the gap between the Christian church and the LGBTQIA2S+ community at large. For too long, the relationships between Christians and people who identify as Queer have been characterised by distrust, cynicism, and even hatred on both sides. Instead of accepting this as the status quo, we believe that this is a situation that can change, and we seek to be catalysts in bringing people together.”

If you have read the news, some names may emerge more often than others, including current leadership with Kieran Wear[1], Elisabeth Browning[2], Queenie Rabanes[3], and Micah Bron[4]. Then you’ve become acquainted with some of the important names of One TWU. Not all likely will be public in some manner. Only a few will do this. They wrestle with difficult, to them, internal issues of psychology, identity, and theology. In personal terms, it seems as if an easy theological issue to completely comprehend and resolve as a ‘paradox’ and more something to act on in community for base level respect as a start rather than cloaked in some obscure, “carefully worded” backhand to the face of each and every LGBTI member of community and ally of said community. These kids are not unwell because of who they are, who they love, and what they see as a relationship with their Creator God; the theology, the hermeneutics, is not well because it causes unnecessary suffering of individuals.

Matthew Wigmore[5], Bryan Sandberg[6], and David Evans-Carlson[7] are the co-founders of One TWU. Other names are Nate/Nathan Froelich[8], Kelsey Tiffin[9], and Robynne Healey[10]. Matthew Wigmore in “LGBTQ At TWU” stated:

To lay the context for those not completely familiar with TWU, there are two important documents for staff and students at Trinity Western. One is the “Statement of Faith,” which is signed by staff and faculty, that dictates what the university believes. It expresses TWU’s overarching worldview. Some may argue the Statement of Faith is an inclusive document as it allows signatories to write in some qualifications or clarifications. The other document is the “Community Covenant,” which regulates the behaviour of all members of the TWU community. While the Statement of Faith may raise some eyebrows, it’s the Community Covenant that’s at issue in the current Supreme Court case…

…TWU insiders know the Community Covenant, especially recently, is rarely enforced. Why go to such great lengths to defend it?…

…LGBTQ+ persons are disproportionately targeted by the religious freedom claims. For example, there’s been very little backlash over the ease at which couples can divorce, especially compared with half a century ago. Indeed, fundamentalist evangelicals boast about the same levels of divorce as their non-religious counterparts. Surely this poses a threat to “traditional Biblical marriage,” considering the apparently intertwined nature between religious freedom and heterosexual marriage, and the religious freedom of Christians in Canada…

…It seems that although this debate, outside of the legal context, often masquerades as a debate about religious freedom, the core issue is the treatment of, not just belief about, LGBTQ+ persons. Take the LGBTQ+ factor away from the equation and religious freedom might be doing better than we’re giving it credit for.

Wigmore knows full well, as with many others. The issue comes from theology, not religious freedom. The writing looks diplomatic more than direct. The treatment of LGBTI peoples remains the core issue because the theological interpretation, as such, condemns them either as they are, as they behave in sex, or both.

As their “Statement of Faith” states:

As the verbally inspired Word of God, the Bible is without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the ultimate authority by which every realm of human knowledge and endeavour should be judged… In union with Adam, human beings are sinners by nature and by choice, alienated from God, and under His wrath… The true church is manifest in local churches, whose membership should be composed only of believers… With God’s Word, the Spirit’s power, and fervent prayer in Christ’s name, we are to combat the spiritual forces of evil… We believe that God commands everyone everywhere to believe the gospel by turning to Him in repentance and receiving the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that God will raise the dead bodily and judge the world, assigning the unbeliever to condemnation and eternal conscious punishment and the believer to eternal blessedness and joy with the Lord in the new heaven and the new earth, to the praise of His glorious grace. Amen.

‘Love and believe in me, or endure eternal conscious torment” – signed, A Loving Creator God. Anyhow, the implication within community comes in judgment of ‘human beings as sinners by nature and by choice’ (answering the “theological interpretation” point above as neither ‘as they are or as they behave in sex,’ but both), where LGBTI peoples are sinners by nature, as with all other unrepentant peoples, but also behaviour if enacting intimacy with those who they love. We can state with this certainty because Trinity Western University believes “the Bible is… ultimate authority by which every realm of human knowledge and endeavour should be judged.” Thus, the LGBTI who remain unrepentant are considered under God’s wrath, by nature and action. These are some of the “spiritual forces of evil” the TWU community must “combat.” Otherwise, rather than no soup, it’s no blessedness for you. On this basis, Wigmore seems ‘more diplomatic than direct’ on this communal issue. Something many TWU students still face in silence. Sometimes, they come from fundamentalist homes in which this became the only option for postsecondary education for them. Parental influence can be overwhelming with heaven and ‘right’ theology at stake.

Wigmore knows this community because he had to know the strong positives of living within a loving Christian community bound by mutual respect and dignity towards one another as Christians, and the strong negatives and xenophobia against LGBTI peoples from the same community coming straight out of the same theology. He marks the more direct statement in the place in which less diplomatic stances are required, on the One TWU website, in “This is not about a Law School… but it kind of is.” He states:

…despite whether it’s used or not, Trinity Western continues to reserve the right to expel LGBTQ+ persons, specifically those who are in relationships…

…we have yet to receive an apology. In 2016, the Mars Hill Newspaper (see the story here: http://www.marshillonline.com/) published a story featuring the experiences of LGBTQ+ alumni. This was followed by a spotlight in the Vancouver Sun (http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/queer-at-twu), and an even more in-depth story by Daily Xtra (read it here) Before these stories were written, we had several meetings with President Bob Kuhn and other members of the administration. This was not a calculated attack. This was the result of being methodically ignored for several years. And when our stories finally came to the surface, and into the public sphere we still did not receive an apology.

Finally, the persecution complex is perhaps the highest it has ever been. President Bob Kuhn has said this case is fighting for the freedom of all Canadians. Ironically, he states, “In Canada… We don’t protect the rights of one community by extinguishing the rights of another. This is not a time to start down that path” (read the full story here). And yet TWU continues to fight for the right to expel those who cannot subject themselves to this premise: namely, LGBTQ+ students. Considering this is what this case hinges on, we have to wonder, “is our freedom being fought for?” Moreover, if Canadian-wide freedom is being fought for by those seeking the freedom to continue withholding the power to discriminate against LGBTQ+ students, is that really a freedom we want extended Canada wide? The answer is no. But at the end of the day, the discourse not only tries to equate being discriminated against for being gay with being “discriminated” against for being homophobic, but pushes further to suggest that in fact the LGBTQ+ community is the chief discriminator, not TWU.

I met Bob Kuhn. He permitted a long interview with me. A nice man, someone who endures horrible suffering from Parkinson’s Disease. Yet, as a community at that time, and now, the issue becomes the LGBTI community rather than the freedom of religion, as per the reasons described above by Wigmore. There are many stories to be told, to unfold over time, and to be covered in the future articles, which will cover some of the other inter-related commentaries. Wigmore seems as if a relevant and important place for the co-founder status of One TWU and to the public image in the media provided via advocacy and leadership on Trinity Western University and its LGBTI community.

As an outsider to these parties, I would strongly argue for and encourage a public, recorded sit-down chat or informal conversation between LGBTI members of the Trinity Western Community, in and out of One TWU, and the relevant movers and shakers[11] in the TWU communal-scape. It would be, at a minimum, educational. Something to open dialogue and alter internal culture based on understanding to build both compassion and a theology deserving of the title “Mighty Fortress.”

[5] Wigmore’s Unchanged Movement profile states:

I became aware of my identity when I was 10 years old. I have the fitness magazines at the local grocery store to thank for that. Early in my life, I believed a couple things about LGBTQ+ Christians:

• They were so rare that they didn’t deserve THAT much attention
• They were mentally ill or recovering from broken relationships
• They weren’t in relationship with God
• They were choosing a “lifestyle” over what was truly important in life 

Because I was a part of Exodus International for five years, I bought into the beliefs that if I prayed hard enough, built enough positive male relationships, and repaired the relationship with my Dad that I wouldn’t have these feelings anymore. Not only were those “IF’s” inadequate measures of success, but they had relatively little to do with my sexuality. I believe that God, being love, created all my intricacies in love. Meaning my sexuality is not just about who I’m attracted to; it’s a framework through which I fight for the underdog and continuously re-evaluate how my actions, consciously and subconsciously, affect others.

In terms of the clobber passages, both my envelopment in and distancing from the Evangelical church has taught me truly what the Bible is. It’s a library of letters written from and to contexts that are entirely foreign to the modern reader. The idea that ANY of the biblical writers could’ve been addressing the contemporary examples of same-sex unions and gender fluidity is so impossible that the Church’s obsession with opposing these topics serves to undermine the Church as we know it today.

Meeting other LGBTQ+ Christians (who immediately smelled more like Jesus to me than most people I had met in Bible college), working for a Christian org, and going to church were instrumental in my journey towards affirmation. Their existence and truth gave me the confidence and affirmation I needed. In terms of my last thread with Exodus, it was the behaviour of my conversion therapist (ironically). But it was also Lisa Ling’s Our America documentary series, which made the evidence against Exodus so overwhelming. I also felt like anyone who wanted to tote the idea that my sexuality was reversible was going to struggle arguing with me, considering my existence had proved the opposite.

I don’t think we’re ever meant to fully RECOVER from something like conversion therapy. It’s traumatizing, particularly because it can destroy relationships and also teaches us to undermine ourselves and our feelings. As much as I’m more confident in myself and my capacity to make decisions, I do believe that the parts of me which continue to remain morphed because of my time with conversion therapy are so for a reason. They give me empathy, a reminder of how far I’ve come, and a sort of “gay commissioning.”

I attended Trinity Western University during one of it’s most tumultuous times and started One TWU with some of my friends, an LGBTQ+ organization. It was discouraging to see LGBTQ+ rights pitted against religious freedom, but I think that served as a wake-up call for many that we can’t go on treating people like this. Seeing people come forward with courage and to tell their stories truthfully has been one of the most healing experiences in my life.

My life now is full, but also in anticipation of the good, the bad, and the ugly to come next. I guess I’m just less afraid of it now.

[6] Sandberg’s article “Dear Trinity, I’m Game and I Love You” states:

Can I express how much I love you? When I first arrived here in 2010 as a closeted 18-year-old who was deeply burdened by heavy rejection from other Christian circles, I wasn’t sure I would… but guess what? I do love you and I love you a lot. You’ve proven yourself over and over to be a loving tribe of people, full of compassion, acceptance, and graciousness, and I have been honored to count myself among you. However, as we all know, things have not been easy for Trinity as of late, with the recent story about Bethany Paquette being just one more example of the mischaracterizations many of us have had to face. Speaking as a gay Trinity student who loves this community wholeheartedly, I have a few things I absolutely need you to know moving forward as controversy continues to surround our school…

… I want you to know that as a gay Trinity student and soon-to-be alum, I love you all without hesitation. Like many other students who have passed through TWU’s open doors, I too have found a second home here, one I will doubtlessly cherish for the rest of my life. No, I don’t agree with everything everyone thinks, but is that really the heart of the matter? I would take being loved over being agreed with any day of the week, wouldn’t you? So do not allow unfair criticism and accusations to tear you down as the controversy around TWU continues into the future… God’s watching over you and he knows what you need. Much love to you all!

[7] Chrisaleen Ciro in ““Still a lot of Work to Do”: How the leaders of One TWU believe its history intersects with the future” stated, “At the time, Wigmore felt that the only “foolproof” way to go about this would be to “get a press shield.” He wanted to know that in a worst case scenario situation––if TWU took action against him––it would be on the record. He met with reporters to share his experience as a gay student at TWU. In 2014, Wigmore and fellow students, Bryan Sandberg and David Evans-Carlson (an alumnus), founded One TWU with the intention of providing a safe space for queer students on campus. Wigmore recalls intensely appreciating the solidarity and awareness of the presence of other members of the LGBTQ+ community on campus that came from that group.”

[8] Nate/Nathan Froelich in in “Nathan Froehlich: Out of Hiding” stated:

From a young age, I knew there something that made me different. I didn’t know quite what it was; a society saturated in toxic masculinity taught me to believe I would only be “enough” if I fit western culture’s ideal mould for a man. Although those who know me well enough will know that is a mould that I have never quite fit. Growing up, most of the boys around me wanted to go hunting, fishing, talk about girls, and spend their time on other stereotypically “masculine” activities. By contrast, I gravitated towards shopping, creating miniature plays and performances for my family, and admiring Chris Pine in Princess Diaries 2. I bought into a lie that told me that because I didn’t fit the ideal male characteristics shared by my male counterparts, that I was less of a boy, and I would never be enough of a man.

I remember waking up one morning and going into my family’s living room where my Dad sat reading his Bible in his usual spot. He invited me to read with him, as he so often did. Together we read Genesis 19—the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. He read aloud, “All the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded [Lot’s] house. They called to [him], ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.’” With the familiar sensation of shame burning through my chest, I sat confused and full of fear, wondering how I, an eleven year old boy compared to those terrible men in Sodom that God wanted to destroy…

…The language often used by Christians to describe homosexuals made it seem as though gays shared more characteristics with Shelley’s Frankenstein than they did with actual people; as if LGBT people are a purposeless and irreparably broken people beyond redemption. The church promoted a culture of love, hope, vulnerability, and authenticity, but only within comfortable lines; they held an attitude of hostility towards homosexuals that kept me silent in my pain. Sharing a negative view of homosexuals caused me to view other gay people through a distorted and loveless lens, developing a ‘hate the sin, not the sinner’ attitude that left me feeling better than the superiorly broken “worldly” homosexuals. For twenty years, I sat in church services where I heard messages of God’s goodness, His ability to heal those who are sick, pull people out of sin, and radically alter people’s lives. I’ve witnessed healings, experienced the power of God’s presence, and seen radical change in the lives of others so I pleaded with God to change me too. I prayed relentlessly, hoping for just enough faith to release me from my sexuality, but my prayers fell as empty words and I was left confused, questioning God’s silence…

…I’ve come to understand that scripture is not black and white when it comes to discussing homosexuality. As any churchgoer understands, it is important to investigate the context of the Biblical text to come to an accurate understanding of what is being taught. This same approach must be taken when it comes to discussing same-sex relationships, such as in 1 Timothy and in 1 Corinthians. Such verses, share the same Hebrew word (arsenokoitas) that was originally translated to “homosexual,” used to describe male prostitutes, is not what we define homosexuality as today (i.e two men in a loving, consensual, monogamous relationship). I believe that God blesses monogamy between a same-sex couple just as much a heterosexual couple. What I had thought for so long were scriptural tenets, were actually North American Evangelical cultural  standards. When I brought myself back to the bible, and away from these standards, the answer I had been searching for became a lot more clear…

…I once told someone that one of my greatest longing is to be fully known; to no longer be in a constant state of reclusion. So, here I am, Nathan: a son, a brother, a grandson, a nephew, a friend, a lover of snowboarding and of traveling, of music and of photography. I am brave, I am kind, I am strong, I am loved, and I am gay. My identity is in Christ, being gay doesn’t change that. I am enough just as I am. I no longer live under the fear of the opinions and convictions of others, I am loved by God, and by my family. I am owning my faith; I am done living in fear, and I am out of hiding.

I would interpret “God’s silence,” in all due respect, as reflective not of a self-identity bound to the Creator God in waiting of some communion, but, rather, reflects the naturalistic account of the matter. In that, it’s not a God of deep personal care to individuated human life who penetrates the brain so as to commune with its self-born child and to convey some meaningful answer to a troubling query in some extra-natural sense. It’s silence qua silence. Silence manifested by the nature of that which is present, silence itself. No god to deliver a message because the god is not there and never left in the first place, because there was no god. A community rejecting LGBTI individuals with the expectation of ‘repentance’ and then condemnation to place the communal rejection on themselves, the individual LGBTI persons. The culture produces the hardship in this domain. Duly note, the healing and improvement in mental wellness happened outside of the walls of the institution.

The World Intelligence Network contains a reasonably long list of “active” high-IQ societies with a wide range of sigmas, titles, hyperlinks, founders, dates of founding, statistical rarities, listed per high-IQ society. The last of the first set of six articles, expanded from 4, examines the second pass of the 5 to 7 sigma high-IQ societies.

Duly note, as a background to the entire environs here, intelligence seems most reasonably measured and extrapolated by comprehensive mainstream IQ tests with an extension into a phenomenon entitled g or the general factor in intelligence, which seems strongly correlated with tests including the WAIS or the Stanford-Binet, or the RAPM, which produce reasonable scores on adults because the test scores seem more solid, less fluid as in children, with correlations with g as high as 0.80, on a correlation range of -1.00 to +1.00, on the verbal sections of tests. One of the best predictors of g.

Which is to state explicitly, the general factor intelligence becomes controversial outside of the field of psychology for socio-political reasons and inside of psychology more for empirical-theoretical or, perhaps, hypothetico-deductive, reasons, as well as interpretive ones, where the latter becomes more substantive, intriguing, and an ongoing piece of research and remains controversial inside and outside of the hallowed halls of academe for the aforementioned reasons, respectively.

In short, among those most qualified to provide a response, who understand the nuances, comprehend the larger image, and convey this to the public, the existence of general intelligence seems uncontroversial in the science of the factorizations to come to the general factor of intelligence, g. The debated question: What does this mean now? Hence, we come to the external socio-political controversies and the internal empirico-predictive controversies.

“…a hypothetical source of individual differences in general ability, which represents individuals’ abilities to perceive relationships and to derive conclusions from them. The general factor is said to be a basic ability that underlies the performance of different varieties of intellectual tasks, in contrast to specific factors,” the American Psychological Association states, “which are alleged each to be unique to a single task. Even theorists who posit multiple mental abilities have often suggested that a general factor may underlie these (correlated) mental abilities… [postulated in 1904 by Charles Spearman].”

The Association for Psychological Science, in “Cognitive Abilities Seem to Reinforce Each Other in Adolescence,” states:

One of the most striking findings in psychology is that almost all cognitive abilities are positively related – on average, people who are better at a skill like reasoning are generally also better at a skill like vocabulary. This fact allows scientists and educational practitioners to summarize people’s skills on a wide range of domains as one factor – often called ‘g’, for ‘general intelligence’. Despite this, the mechanisms underlying ‘g’ and its development remain somewhat mysterious.

“What this so-called ‘g-factor’ means is still very much up for debate,” explains researcher Rogier Kievit of the Cognition and Brain Science Unit at the University of Cambridge. “Is it a causal factor, an artefact of the way we create cognitive tests, the result of our educational environment, a consequence of genetics, an emergent phenomenon of a dynamic system or perhaps all of these things to varying degrees?”

In a new study, scientists from Cambridge, London, and Berlin led by Kievit directly compared different proposed explanations for the phenomenon of ‘g’ and how it develops over time. Data was used from a Wellcome-funded longitudinal cohort (NSPN), where 785 late adolescents, ages 14 to 24, were tested on two occasions approximately 1.5 years apart. They focused two subtests reflecting key domains of ‘g’, namely fluid reasoning (solving abstract puzzles) and vocabulary (knowing the definitions of words). Their findings are published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.”

PsychologyWiki in “General intelligence factor” states:

Charles Spearman, an early psychometrician, found that schoolchildren’s grades across seemingly unrelated subjects were positively correlated, and proposed that these correlations reflected the influence of a dominant factor, which he termed g for “general” intelligence. He developed a model where all variation in intelligence test scores can be explained by two factors. The first is the factor specific to an individual mental task: the individual abilities that would make a person more skilled at one cognitive task than another. The second is g, a general factor that governs performance on all cognitive tasks.

The accumulation of cognitive testing data and improvements in analytical techniques have preserved g’s central role and led to the modern conception of g. A hierarchy of factors with g at its apex and group factors at successively lower levels, is espoused to be the most widely accepted model of cognitive ability. Other models have also been proposed, and significant controversy attends g and its alternatives.

Encyclopedia Britannica in “Human Intelligence” (by Robert J. Sternberg) states:

One of the earliest of the psychometric theories came from the British psychologist Charles E. Spearman (1863–1945), who published his first major article on intelligence in 1904. He noticed what may seem obvious now—that people who did well on one mental-ability test tended to do well on others, while people who performed poorly on one of them also tended to perform poorly on others. To identify the underlying sources of these performance differences, Spearman devised factor analysis, a statistical technique that examines patterns of individual differences in test scores. He concluded that just two kinds of factors underlie all individual differences in test scores. The first and more important factor, which he labeled the “general factor,” or g, pervades performance on all tasks requiring intelligence. In other words, regardless of the task, if it requires intelligence, it requires g. The second factor is specifically related to each particular test. For example, when someone takes a test of arithmetical reasoning, his performance on the test requires a general factor that is common to all tests (g) and a specific factor that is related to whatever mental operations are required for mathematical reasoning as distinct from other kinds of thinking. But what, exactly, is g? After all, giving something a name is not the same as understanding what it is. Spearman did not know exactly what the general factor was, but he proposed in 1927 that it might be something like “mental energy.”

The American psychologist L.L. Thurstone disagreed with Spearman’s theory, arguing instead that there were seven factors, which he identified as the “primary mental abilities.” These seven abilities, according to Thurstone, were verbal comprehension (as involved in the knowledge of vocabulary and in reading), verbal fluency (as involved in writing and in producing words), number (as involved in solving fairly simple numerical computation and arithmetical reasoning problems), spatial visualization (as involved in visualizing and manipulating objects, such as fitting a set of suitcases into an automobile trunk), inductive reasoning (as involved in completing a number series or in predicting the future on the basis of past experience), memory (as involved in recalling people’s names or faces, and perceptual speed (as involved in rapid proofreading to discover typographical errors in a text).

Although the debate between Spearman and Thurstone has remained unresolved, other psychologists—such as Canadian Philip E. Vernon and American Raymond B. Cattell—have suggested that both were right in some respects. Vernon and Cattell viewed intellectual abilities as hierarchical, with g, or general ability, located at the top of the hierarchy. But below g are levels of gradually narrowing abilities, ending with the specific abilities identified by Spearman. Cattell, for example, suggested in Abilities: Their Structure, Growth, and Action (1971) that general ability can be subdivided into two further kinds, “fluid” and “crystallized.” Fluid abilities are the reasoning and problem-solving abilities measured by tests such as analogies, classifications, and series completions. Crystallized abilities, which are thought to derive from fluid abilities, include vocabulary, general information, and knowledge about specific fields. The American psychologist John L. Horn suggested that crystallized abilities more or less increase over a person’s life span, whereas fluid abilities increase in earlier years and decrease in later ones.

As the British Psychological Association’s Alex Fradera, in “New cross-cultural analysis suggests that g or “general intelligence” is a human universal,” stated:

Thanks to work pioneered by Charles Spearman, we know that in Western populations performance on a range of mental tasks seems to reflect a more basic mental ability, a “general intelligence” or simply g.

You can’t see g – it’s a statistical reality more than anything else, but it’s very robust, and modern research suggests that the g factor accounts for roughly half the variability in performance within and between people on all kinds of mental tests. Being strong verbally doesn’t guarantee you will be mathematical too, but it tips the odds strongly in your favour…

…The analysis covered nearly 100 datasets from 31 cultures including Thailand, Uganda, Papau New Guinea, Guyana – from every inhabited continent and world region save Europe and Australia. The median sample size was 150, but due to some very large samples Warne and Burningham were working with 50,000 participants in all. They wanted to explore which cultures and which sets of tasks featured performance variation that could be reduced down to one factor akin to g, and which would firmly resist…

…Using Warne and Burningham’s rules, between three quarters and four-fifths of the datasets immediately yielded just one factor that explained variability in participants’ performance across different tests. In other cases, two underlying factors emerged, but these were similar enough to also end up reducing to one factor in a second round of analysis, saving one single exception.

Therefore, even with the marginal concern of some, or general interest (including myself), in these qualitative analyses, the societies exist for serious and for trivial reasons, while the fundamental basis behind them becomes substantive in psychology and in the empirics gathered for a significant amount of time by mostly honest, serious, and sincere researchers. If an individual dismisses the existence of g, probably, the conversations seems not worth it, except for education of the more ignorant interlocutor or comprehension of where some misunderstandings exist, as the grounds for empirical and serious discourse lose substance without an admission of the facts (see above statements, of which there remain countless others).

On intelligence alone, as a concept rather than a psychological construct, the American Psychological Association states:

Intelligence refers to intellectual functioning. Intelligence quotients, or IQ tests, compare your performance with other people your age who take the same test. These tests don’t measure all kinds of intelligence, however. For example, such tests can’t identify differences in social intelligence, the expertise people bring to their interactions with others. There are also generational differences in the population as a whole. Better nutrition, more education and other factors have resulted in IQ improvements for each generation.

It’s controversial because everyone reveres or envies intelligence in others, and assume the higher levels of it in themselves. To the main dish today, and to repeat, as before, the Founder and President of the World Intelligence Network is the ubiquitous psychiatrist Dr. Evangelos Katsioulis and the Dubai giftedness advocate Manahel Thabet (who taught me the correct image, function, and title of an “astrolabe” years ago – thank you). Its flagship publication is Phenomenon with co-editors Graham Powell and Krystal Volney.

The first pass process uses the links given on the World Intelligence Network website. The second pass or review uses search engines. A third review would incorporate more substantive measures of investigation. This is the second review of sigmas 5 to 7:

At 5 sigma, the “Mega Foundation Society” should be the Mega Foundation[1] of Gina LoSasso (Dr. Gina Langan) and Christopher Langan/Chris Langan/Christopher Michael Langan. It contains the Ultranet. It used to host Ubiquity, a journal, and the Telemach Network for gifted youth. Its first pass links to a dead Facebook link. On a second pass, it has off-loaded to Patreon for the virtuous aim of the support of the severely gifted and their ideas. It is alive and functional on second pass. The OlympIQ Society of Evangelos Katsioulis connects to an internal World Intelligence Network website. It is alive and functional on first pass and second pass.  The presidents have been Evangelos Katsioulis and Thomas B.; the vice presidents have been YoungHoon Bryan Kim/YoungHoon Kim/Bryan Kim, George Petasis, Jonas Högberg, and Jonathan Wai; the internet officers have been Evangelos Katsioulis and Jonas Högberg; the membership officers have been Evangelos Katsioulis, Jonathan Wai, and Jan Willem Versluis.[2] The Pars Society of Baran Yönter looks dead on the first pass. On the second pass, the society is defunct. However, its old website stated:

The Society

The Pars Society was founded in 2002  by Baran Yönter as a High Intelligence Society. Main goal of the Society is to provide a private, intellectual and peaceful cyberspace among its members. Pars Society offers an absolute liberty of speech, and encourages exchange of  ideas and projects. According to our International Membership Structure, our exceptionally gifted Members represent more than 17 countries in Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia. Members of The Pars Society have a broad spectrum of educational and professional backgrounds. Common properties of The Society can be summarized as giftedness, kindness and  the enthusiasm of cooperation and dialouge among every other Society in HIQ Land. Pars proudly lodges Founders and Directors of more than 20 High IQ Societies and warmly welcomes everyone who wish to cooperate.

The word “Pars” is the name of The Anatolian Leopard panthera pardus tulliana, which is known for its Power and Rarity. Pars symbolises BrainPower and Rarity of our Members…

It had a recognizable membership[3]. PolymathIQ Society of Ron Altmann seems defunct on the first pass. On the second pass, we have a functional website with individual names listed. It is not defunct on the second review. Its website notes the Founder is Ronald Altmann, the full members (180 IQ) as Adam Kisby, Martin Tobias Lithner, and David Smith, prospective members (164 IQ) as Hever H. A. Gutierrez and Jose González Molinero, and subscribers (152 IQ) as Fernando Barbosa Neto and Juan González Liébana. Its website states:

Polymathiq Society

The Polymathiq Society was founded by Ronald Altmann in 2009. Polymathiq stands as one of the most exclusive high-IQ societies in existence. Its purpose is to identify and gather living polymaths with profound intellectual ability. Membership requires: (1.) an IQ at or above 180 IQ (SD=16), corresponding to a theoretical rarity of 1 in 3,500,000; plus, (2.) polymathic learning, as defined by expertise across a wide range of disciplines. As of February 25, 2011, only three individuals have met both of these rigorous requirements. Membership in the Polymathiq Society is free for all who qualify.

Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman philosopher, statesman, lawyer, political theorist, and Roman constitutionalist – a true polymath. He came from a wealthy municipal family of the equestrian order, and is widely considered one of Rome’s greatest orators and prose stylists…

The Sigma V Society of Hindemburg Melão/Hindemburg Melao seems online. Unsure as to the level of activity, its members include Hindemburg Melão Jr., Petri Widsten, Alexandre Prata Maluf, Rauno Lindström, Peter David Bentley, Bart Lindekens, Joachim Lahav, Marc Heremans, Staffan Svensson, Will Fletcher, Guilherme Marques dos Santos Silva, and Lloyd King. The Unicorn Society of Hindemburg Melão appears online. It looks inactive on second pass.  

At 5.33 sigma, the Ultima Society of Ivan Ivec seems defunct on the first pass. On second pass, it seems active with a rich number of links to texts, norm statistics, and more. The main website for Ivec states:

High Range IQ Tests – Difficult IQ Tests

Dear visitors!

This website is mainly devoted to measuring very high intelligence by means of untimed high range IQ tests. Besides my tests, you will find tests by other authors who influenced my work in this way or another: Mislav Predavec, Paul Cooijmans, Jason Betts, Theodosis Prousalis, and some others. Of course, I do not guarantee the quality of all those tests. The quality analysis of my tests can be found at http://ivec.ultimaiq.net/quality.htm. I’ll also try to promote good and free IQ tests, to offer some of them, and to offer IVIQ puzzle competition.
        The average IQ is 100 and high range IQ tests mainly measure IQ from 120 up to 190. Only one out of 30,000 people possesses IQ 160 or above, and so scores on that level are very rare. Most of the tests are either spatial, numerical or verbal. Possible answers are mainly not given, and you must find the most logical missing elements.
        The website also offers five IQ societies. Grand IQ Society gathers individuals with IQ in the range from 130 to 169, and you need at least one score on 170+ level to join more elite Ultima IQ Society. If you have good scores on different kind of tests, you’ll probably want to join Intruellect IQ Society or Universal Genius Society, while Real IQ Society will give you a deep confirmation of your performances.
        World Famous IQ Scores link gives you quick insight into some of the best IQ scores on my and many other IQ tests. I also try to maintain the list of favorite IQ tests, collecting your votes.

Religion – Art

However, I’m not interested only in IQ tests and mathematics, which is my profession. I believe in God and try to live my faith. As I’m pretty bad theologician, under Religion link I’ll only try to help people in need. I pray God to give me enough humbleness to maintain this site in the productive way. Finally, under Steven Fell’s Art link I’ll promote one American artist, who did my portrait for this website.

Sincerely,
Ivan Ivec

It’s hard to read where the society ends and the personal webpage begins. They seem merged in some manner. Nonetheless, given the extensive coverage on the site, no doubt, it’s active to some degree, not defunct, though conflated in purposes with individual or personal endeavours of Ivec. Ivec has some YouTube videos, too, now.

At 6 sigma, the Giga Society of Paul Cooijmans seems highly functional on the first pass and the second pass. Its website states:

Introduction

Membership of the Giga Society is ideally open to anyone outscoring .999999999 of the adult population on at least one of the accepted tests. This means that in theory one in a billion individuals can qualify. Please do not confuse this criterion with popularly published scores on childhood tests (which are mental/biological age ratio I.Q.’s that are not comparable with deviation I.Q.’s and tend to be much higher), estimated I.Q.’s of famous people, or self-claimed I.Q.’s of megalomaniacs. You can not join by simply listing your real-life achievements, diplomas and the like, even though you are, of course, of greater value to society because of those than you would be because of a high test score.

Main goal of the Giga Society is to further the establishment of mental ability test norms in the very high range. This is done by recognizing high-scoring candidates for their effort in taking the tests (not for being intelligent), Giga Society membership being one of the incentives for test-taking. Into the bargain, this also promotes the general goals of high-range I.Q. testing, as well as the study of creativity and genius in terms of personality features. Inspired by the prospect of membership, many take the tests, thus bringing in much research data. This is explained so explicitly in this paragraph because experience has shown that some otherwise misunderstand the nature of the society, and mistake it for a cult of megalomania.

The society was founded in 1996 by Paul Cooijmans, who has served as its Psychometitor since, and has a journal named Nemesis which appears after every enrolment, the first of which occurred in 1999. The Giga Society is not a member of any networks or umbrella societies other than GliaWeb.

Warning

It has been known to occur that social media “groups” started by impostors made unauthorized use of the name “Giga Society” or some variant or misspelling thereof. Such groups are not affiliated with the Giga Society, and membership in them under no circumstance entitles one to call oneself a member of the Giga Society. Contact the society’s Psychometitor to verify whether any particular group is bona fide.

Its members include Andreas Gunnarsson, Thomas Wolf, Evangelos Katsioulis, Rick Rosner/Richard Rosner/Richard G. Rosner/Rick G. Rosner, Matthew Scillitani, Heinrich Siemens, Scott Ben Durgin/Scott Durgin, Dany Provost, Rolf Mifflin, Paul John – possibly others. Cooijmans serves as the “psychometitor,” since 1996. The Nano Society of Ivan Ivec seems defunct on first pass leading to a dead website. On second pass, an article by Scott G. Halford noted the only member, circa 2009, of the Nano Society was Mislav Predavec. It seems defunct. The Sigma VI Society of Hindemburg Melão seems online. The activity level appears low or static. Its members and prospective members include Hindemburg Melão Jr., Petri Widsten, Alexandre Prata Maluf (Prospective member who is waiting for the new norm of the Sigma Test VI), and Peter David Bentley (Prospective member who is waiting for the new norm of the Sigma Test VI).

At 6.27 sigma, the One in Five Society of Huck Nembelton leads to a dead website and seems dead on the first pass. Its old website, on second pass, stated:

There are more than 60 High IQ societies listed on the www.iqtest.sk IQ Test site!

These include Mensa, Asnem, Triple Nines, Grail, The Prometheus Society, the Mega Society, the Sigma Society, etc.

Asnem is the only one of the 60 that lists “NONE” under the Other acceptable test category

If you want to get into Asnem, You’ve got to have what it takes!

Even so, there is a society that’s above Asnem….

“The One in Five society, commonly called….”

“1”

Membership is limited to the “one” smartest person in 5 Billion!

And, for all we know, it might be you!

The One in Five society was envisioned by Huck Nembelton

when he heard about Paul Cooijman’s Giga Society.

Cooijman defines society as a group with one or more members,

claiming to be the most exclusive High IQ group in the world.

The Gigas are people who have scored in the One in a Billion IQ range (195 IQ)

and presently have 5 members, all of whom just happen to live in the United States and Europe.

Where about 90% of the worlds population does not happen to live!

Huck, as smart as he is, suggested that we start a “One in Five Billion group”

and that the smartest person in 5 Billion would be the only member, and get “The Card”.

(This person, of course would be the smartest person in the world)

As long as the worlds population stays under 10 Billion, there can only be one member.

This would mean that the member would be… I don’t know what it means.

Anyway, if you are the one, please submit proof, “The Card” will then be sent to you!

(“The Card” hermetically sealed in pure Lucite will be valid until around 2065*)

A “The Card” advantage: Whether you leave home with or without it wont make any difference!

*The worlds population, depending on wars, famine, asteroids, acts of God, etc., will exceed 10 Billion by 2065.

and “One in Five” could have 2 members thereby becoming null and void!

At that time, the “One in Ten” group will pick up the torch, and “One in Five” will come to an end!

As always, in the event of a tie, the judges, Huck & Reggie’s, decision is final!

The inspiration, in essence, came from the Giga Society of Paul Cooijmans. On second pass, the One in Five Society is defunct. The Universal Genius Society (UNIGEG) of Brennan Martin leads to a dead link and appears defunct on first pass. It claimed membership under the umbrella organization “RAINBOW BRIDGE.” Its image design on the page was designed by Papageorgiou Pantelis in 2008. Its website stated:

E.g. Universal Genius John Doe, or abbreviated, John Doe U.G..
UNIGEG will confirm accredited use of this title in diploma and verification letter documentation.

The Universal Genius is at the 100% mind usage level; at the modern summit of HU-MAN cognitive processes evolution representing a kind of “divine perfection”. Who has died and become reborn again an ascended being. 

In other words, who has arisen from the ashes and become a god!

[1] There is NO SUBSCRIBER MEMBER option offered as the society’s aim concerning intelligence qualification is the out-and-out dimension of quality above quantity.
For this reason membership fees are negligible.

[2] There is NO HONORARY MEMBER option offered as the existing standards with meeting the quality criterion named above is solely counted by the candidate’s benchmark intelligence performance under the organisation’s strict internal parameters, and not via externally existing mediums; i.e., other websites, real-world achievements, and the like.

This is not a vanity organisation!

These features set a whole new “standard” for the existing (very more popular and very less qualitative) International High I.Q. Societies’ to follow…

…The World’s Most Exclusive High I.Q. Society. 
Selecting at the highly experimental and controversial level of
 1 out of 6.5 billion people on Earth.

UNIVERSAL GENIUS TITLE
UNIGEG is the first official granting world accreditation body of the most avant-garde designation in intelligence: 

Universal Genius.

FOUNDER
Brennan Martin (COMiQ) :: A professional psychic from New Zealand, conceived of the UNIGEG concept sometime in 2002-2003 while still a teenager. Although it wasn’t until several years later on November-6-2009 that UNIGEG made an official presence on the internet.

PURPOSE
UNIGEG primarily exists to recognise and honour in concrete historical testimony and importance, the mental abilities collective of the greatest mind potential to have ever lived on Gaia in grace, the cosmic planet being Earth – BIG MOTHER – within 3rd dimensional density parameters, uniquely qualified through one of a selection of cutting-edge 21st century high-range intelligence detection tools.

On second pass, it appears defunct.

At 6.66 sigma, the Grail Society of Paul Cooijmans appears functional and inactive with a website on the first pass. On second pass, the same website, it states:

Goals

A goal of this society is to acknowledge you are the most intelligent person ever on Earth. The word “Grail” symbolizes the concept of g or “general intelligence”, defined as the common factor in mental ability test score variance, personified in you. In the process of qualifying, you will contribute to the higher goal of enabling the norming of the very highest score levels on I.Q. tests for the high range.

Qualification

Since it is estimated that roughly a hundred billion of the species Homo sapiens have lived until now, the ideal admission level is an I.Q. test score reached by one in a hundred billion persons, which theoretically takes place about 6.7 standard deviations above the mean, so around I.Q. 200 when the standard deviation (σ) is set at 15.

For several reasons this value can not be correct; for instance, the mean and σ of the group of all humans that have lived will not be the same as those of the current adult Western population to which our norms refer; projected onto today’s I.Q. scale, the level of 1 in 100 billion Homo sapiens is logically somewhat below 200 but higher than 190. And a normal distribution of that total group may be incompatible with normal distributions with different means and σs of the subgroups that comprise it, such as sexes, historical eras, subspecies, or peoples (although on the other hand, amalgams of normal distributions do tend toward normality themselves). And an actual distribution is never exactly “normal”, let alone at such an extreme distance from the mean (actually it can on good grounds only be expected to approximate normality within plus or minus about 2 σ from the mean). So that is why the admission level is called “ideal”.

For reasons of simplicity and symbolism though, a straightforward “.99999999999” or “1-^10-11” will suffice to become the Grail Society’s member. Qualifying tests: all of the tests by Paul Cooijmans with norms at or above that level, as well as a score on the (free of charge) Test for extrasensory perception exceeding or equal to a probability of 1 in 10¹¹.

It looks non-defunct and active as with the other societies of Cooijmans.

At 7 sigma, the Tera Society of R. Young of New Zealand on the first pass contains an active, functional website, i.e., seems non-defunct. Its website states:

The Tera Society was founded by Roddy Young in 2009. The pico Society, founded by The same person, was incorporated into the new over all platform of humans’ ever conceived and those with IQ scores on the One in one trillion range as out layers on the left and right of the bell curve were acted for (IQ 200-201 SD15 and IQ 0-1 SD 15) or more or less were invited to join. (The Genotype qualifying score was subsequently raised higher than the current phenotype high Ceiling tests; official scoring of the Tera/pico tests started developing at the end of 2009, after the test was composed to address the alleles and gene loci available in the human genome for high IQ ). A number of different tests are developing with the mapping of the human genome and during the first few years of Tera’s existence the membership was antidotal. Later, the Tera/pico test was expanded to one in 10 trillion and one in 100 trillion as future conceptions were projected out into the coming 500,000 years and Roddy Young’s Tera Test became the sole official entrance tests, awaiting vote of the membership. Later, The Young pico Test was added. (The Tera and pico tests  have not been compromised, so scores after 2009 are currently accepted; the Tera test and and pico test cutoff is now 1 in 1.0 * 10^12—but either the 1 in 1.0 * 10^13 cutoff or the cutoff 1 in 1.0 * 10^14 tests will maintain the same premise, as they are extrapolatable to 1 in 1.0 * 10^15 and 1 in 1.0 * 10^16 )

Tera publishes an irregularly-timed journal. The society also has a (low-traffic) members-only e-mail list. Tera members, please contact the Editor to be added to the list.

For more background on Tera, please refer to Darryl Miyaguchi‘s ―A Short (and Bloody) History of the High-IQ Societies‖—(it’s not yet included but follows a polemic tradition.)

The society appears functional and active, even with a music video of Kevin Langdon. For some of the other analyses, please see the articles here, links are active below:

A Review of the World Intelligence Network Sigma 1.33-3.07 Societies

World Intelligence Network Sigma 1.33-3.07 Societies “Second Pass”

The World Intelligence Network 3.13-4.8 Sigma Societies First Review

Second Pass of the World Intelligence Network 3.13-4.8 Sigma Societies

First Pass of the World Intelligence Network 5 to 7 Sigma Societies

“World Intelligence Network Sigma 1.33-3.07 Societies “Second Pass”” concluded, “Thus, we can consider first pass defunct and second pass defunct 21 societies of 45 between sigmas 1.33 and 3.07 of the World Intelligence Network with 9 of 45 in an apparent paralytic state, while 15 have a range of functionality, activity, i.e., non-defunct status based on first pass and second pass review. Even with those 15, some may, in fact, have an online listing while being truly defunct if a more robust and comprehensive third pass analysis went forth.” Which is to state, 84 minus 45 equal 39, so 39 of the high-IQ societies existed between sigma 3.13 and 7.

Between 3.13 and 4.8 sigma, the societies included Ludomind Society, SesquIQ Society, ISI-Society, Smart People Society, Epida Society, sinApsa Society, SPIQR Society, Coeus Society, Hall Of The Ancients (HOTA), Vertex Society, Camp Archimedes Society, Epimetheus Society, Ergo Society, HELLIQ Society, Prometheus Society, Sigma IV Society, Tetra Society, Platinum Society, Eximia Society, UltraNet Society/Ultranet, GenerIQ Society, Incognia Society, Mega Society, Omega Society, and Pi Society, comprising an additional 25 societies bringing the total from sigma 1.33 to 4.8 to 70 high-IQ societies.

Between 5 and 7 sigma, the societies included Mega International Society/Mega International, OLYMPIQ Society, Pars Society, PolymathIQ Society, Sigma V Society, Unicorn Society, Ultima Society, GIGA Society, Nano Society, Sigma VI Society, One in Five Society, Universal Genius Society (UNIGEG), Grail Society, and Tera Society, comprising 14 high-IQ societies. An interesting, though a reasonable, trend comes from the decreasing numbers of high-IQ societies at each of the three defined strata – 1.33 to 3.07 sigma, 3.13 to 4.8 sigma, and 5 to 7 sigma.

For the high-IQ societies between 3.13 and 4.8 sigma, there are 11 defunct societies and 14 non-defunct societies. The defunct societies as follows: Ludomind Society, SesquIQ Society, Smart People Society, sinApsa Society, Coeus Society, Hall Of The Ancients (HOTA), Camp Archimedes Society, Ergo Society, Platinum Society, Eximia Society, and Incognia Society. The 14 non-defunct societies are ISI-Society, Epida Society, SPIQR Society, Vertex Society, Camp Archimedes Society, Epimetheus Society, HELLIQ Society, Prometheus Society, Sigma IV Society, Tetra Society, UltraNet Society/Ultranet, GenerIQ Society, Mega Society, Omega Society, and Pi Society. This makes for 15 of 45 non-defunct societies from sigma 1.33 to 3.07 and 14 of 25 non-defunct societies from sigma 3.07 to 4.8 for 29 of 70 high-IQ societies as non-defunct with various levels of activity, where 9 appear outright paralytic, for 38 as non-defunct.

For the high-IQ societies from sigma 5 to 7, the non-defunct societies comprise 9 of the 14 high-IQ societies with 5 as defunct in stature. The non-defunct societies include Mega International Society/Mega International, OLYMPIQ Society, PolymathIQ Society, Sigma V Society, Ultima Society, GIGA Society, Sigma VI Society, Grail Society, and Tera Society. The defunct societies include Pars Society, Unicorn Society, Nano Society, One in Five Society, and Universal Genius Society (UNIGEG). Some societies, naturally, such as Grail Society or Tera Society will be low in active status if not outright paralytic. One reason for the messiness of some of the presentation of the content is managing more of a graveyard than a pond of fish.

From sigmas 1.33 to 7, we come to 24 non-defunct high-IQ societies between 1.33 and 3.07 sigma, 14 non-defunct high-IQ societies between 3.13 and 4.8 sigma, and 9 non-defunct high-IQ societies between 5 and 7 sigma, for a total of 47 non-defunct high-IQ societies with wide variation in longevity and activity, where some even exist in limbo or in a paralytic state. So, the strata numbers should be 45 for the first, 25 for the second, 14 for the last, as follows, in the original 84 “active” societies listed for the World Intelligence Network:

Given the above, we can provide an updated and more accurate listing of the non-defunct high-IQ societies from the “active” 84 high-IQ societies listed by the World Intelligence Network with a novel listing of 47 high-IQ societies with a more modest non-defunct statement of status while providing a footnote of the wide range of the level of activity of the high-IQ societies. Unfortunately, this matches a widespread trend of paralysis or death for a number of high-IQ societies. Addendum I and Addendum II will cover the World Intelligence Network listing as a whole in terms of membership – the who, while Addendum III will provide the accepted tests for the non-defunct societies.

By Scott Douglas Jacobsen and Rick Rosner

Rick Rosner: Good cop, bad cop refers to two cops. Someone is in an interrogation room. Bad Cop steps in, rattles the chair, pushes him up against the wall, and says, ‘We’re going to take you down. We’re going to take you whole family down.” He tries to scare the shit out of the suspect.

Good Cop comes in and says, “Jerry, Jerry! Get a Coke.” Jerry leaves, Bad Cop. Tom says, “He’s a hot head. He’s got stuff going on at home. I’ll keep him away from you. Just, you and me talk, do you want a beverage, a cigarette?” So, Bad Cop tenderizes the suspect. Good Cop comes in and makes friends.

This was, I guess, an established interrogation technique. Except now, everyone knows about it, because it has been on every cop show ever, for decades. However, given the current context, when you think of a bad cop, you don’t think of a Jerry who rattles the chair in the interrogation room.

You think of the asshole who stood on George Floyd’s neck for almost 9 minutes.

Scott Douglas Jacobsen: Those are good points. However, we have been doing these sessions before the unfortunate murder of George Floyd and the rise, or the coming to prominence, of these political-social movements. Why would we even need to change the title of the series if we have been doing this longer than this has been ongoing?

Rosner: Imagine, you’re talking to George Floyd’s family, or even somebody like Amber Ruffin who is this lovely and writer-performer for Seth Meyers. She has had a series for months, where she talks about run-ins that she has had with the cops.

She is an adorable young black woman, who is the farthest thing from suspicious or criminal you could be. Yet, she has had a number of crazy run-ins with cops shaking her down or abusing her, because she is a black person. Let’s say, you are talking to her. You’re talking about “Good Cop, Bad Cop.”

Somebody who has lost a family member or who has a family member in prison. They’re like, “Yeah, but…” Or Good Cop, Jerry, gets in there and slaps the suspect, but Tom is all nice. Yet, Tom is complicit. Tom is enabling. Tom know what Jerry does.

Tom goes along with it. So, Tom who goes along with a bad cop while not the bad cop is still a bad cop because he is allowing bad cop to do what they do, and probably covering for them.

Jacobsen: What if Tom & Jerry other than having a cartoon show and being cops are black, while all the other cops are white?

Rosner: The arguments being made – and I buy it – is the police culture in America is insidious and corrupting regardless of what race you might be. It won’t necessarily corrupt everybody. But it might make most cops explicit.

Regardless of what race you are, if you have been a cop for 12 years and have been steeped in cop culture, all your friends are cops. This is not a fair characterization. But we have two girl dogs in the house. Our previous dog was a girl.

They’re more dogs than they are girls. There is more behaviour about them that is doglike than is girl-like. There is almost nothing that our dogs do, except, maybe, how they pee; that is really strongly gender-specific. They’re mostly dogs.

Most of the stuff they do is dog-specific. I would assume being a cop is so life-defining that a lot of people have an identity tied to what they do rather than whatever race they belong to. I am guessing this is true or a lot of cops.

Jacobsen: What would be a more appropriate title with a similar meaning for a series?

Rosner: When it became a genre in the 70s to have two people argue on TV, I think the first might have been “Point Counterpoint.”

Jacobsen: I like it. Also, it is not saying, “One person is bad. One person is good.” Also, it’s not implying too many other things.

Rosner: I think someone should do a show with a bit called “Count Pointercount.”

*High range testing (HRT) should be taken with honest skepticism grounded in the limited empirical development of the field at present, even in spite of honest and sincere efforts. If a higher general intelligence score, then the greater the variability in, and margin of error in, the general intelligence scores because of the greater rarity in the population.*

Rick Rosner: “According to some semi-reputable sources gathered in a listing here, Rick G. Rosner may have among America’s, North America’s, and the world’s highest measured IQs at or above 190 (S.D. 15)/196 (S.D. 16) based on several high range test performances created by Christopher Harding, Jason Betts, Paul Cooijmans, and Ronald Hoeflin. He earned 12 years of college credit in less than a year and graduated with the equivalent of 8 majors. He has received 8 Writers Guild Awards and Emmy nominations, and was titled 2013 North American Genius of the Year by The World Genius Directory with the main “Genius” listing here.

He has written for Remote Control, Crank Yankers, The Man Show, The Emmys, The Grammys, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!. He worked as a bouncer, a nude art model, a roller-skating waiter, and a stripper. In a television commercial, Domino’s Pizza named him the “World’s Smartest Man.” The commercial was taken off the air after Subway sandwiches issued a cease-and-desist. He was named “Best Bouncer” in the Denver Area, Colorado, by Westwood Magazine.

Rosner spent much of the late Disco Era as an undercover high school student. In addition, he spent 25 years as a bar bouncer and American fake ID-catcher, and 25+ years as a stripper, and nearly 30 years as a writer for more than 2,500 hours of network television. Errol Morris featured Rosner in the interview series entitled First Person, where some of this history was covered by Morris. He came in second, or lost, on Jeopardy!, sued Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? over a flawed question and lost the lawsuit. He won one game and lost one game on Are You Smarter Than a Drunk Person? (He was drunk). Finally, he spent 37+ years working on a time-invariant variation of the Big Bang Theory.

Currently, Rosner sits tweeting in a bathrobe (winter) or a towel (summer). He lives in Los Angeles, California with his wife, dog, and goldfish. He and his wife have a daughter. You can send him money or questions at LanceVersusRick@Gmail.Com, or a direct message via Twitter, or find him on LinkedIn, or see him on YouTube.”
