What is IQuadrivium?

IQuadrivium is a high-IQ society, similar in a way to Mensa. However, where Mensa's entry level requirement is a score on a standardized intelligence test at or above the 98th percentile (1 in 50) of the general population, ours is a score at or above the 99.9th percentile (1 in 1,000).

History

The IQuadrivium Society was founded in February, 1994 by Karyn S. Huntting. At the time, she was the youngest person in history to found a High IQ Society, as well as the world's only female High IQ Society founder.

The beginnings of the Society, prior to its official founding, were primarily aimed at gathering members of what are known as the "Super High IQ Societies" together in the Northwest for informal meetings and potluck dinners. The initial mailings to members of these societies and selected guests were made, and the first events jointly hosted by, Karyn S. Huntting and Kevin Langdon.

After Langdon's return to Berkeley, CA, Karyn went on to formally found The IQuadrivium Society, using the already established local group as a base membership and expanding upon that membership in the regions of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. Approximately 45 individuals, mostly in Oregon and Washington, went on to officially join the IQuadrivium Society. Though this number was small in comparison to the total memberships of the larger 99.9th percentile societies, such as ISPE and TNS, it was in reality quite large considering the relatively small geographical area covered by the regional society.

The first official member of the IQuadrivium Society was Dr. Ronald K. Hoeflin, author, philosopher, and founder of the Prometheus and Mega Societies.

Philosophy

It is no secret to those familiar with the workings of the "Super High IQ Societies" that there tends sometimes to be more fighting, personal attacks, and ongoing battles gracing the pages of these societies' journals than many members would prefer to see. I cannot say that I do not know many of these individuals, or that some of them are not my friends; however, this does not change the fact that I consider such behavior potentially counterproductive to the High IQ community as a whole, and to the societies themselves.

The IQuadrivium Society was founded as a group of individuals at or above the 99.9th percentile, many of whom were members of "opposing societies." This was fully intentional. It has always been my opinion that the purpose of such societies should not be to create and foster warring factions and to create deep rifts in the High IQ community, but rather to encourage more positive outcomes. Ideally, a society like this should be able to serve its membership and the High IQ community in several ways. Not only can it provide a means for such people to meet and form productive and enjoyable relationships, but it can also provide a forum for the open exchange of ideas and the development of theories, projects, and creative works.

Purpose

IQuadrivium's Original Statement of Purpose

As published in Phoenix

in 1994: "The IQuadrivium Society is an organization comprised of individuals scoring at or above the 99.9th percentile of the general population on a standardized test of intelligence. Members of the Society are primarily residents of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, though qualifying individuals in other areas are welcomed to participate in the Society's activities and may be considered members. The Society's purpose is to promote and encourage interaction within its membership, to facilitate the exchange of ideas, and to provide a sense of intellectual community in the Pacific Northwest."
