What is the International High IQ Society?
 
The International High IQ Society was founded in the spirit of the urban academies and intellectual salons that first sprang up during the European Enlightenment. These communities of amateur scholars were devoted to the casual pursuit of the arts and sciences, and their members represented the learned professions, merchants, writers, and artisans. After flourishing throughout Europe and North America, many of these communities were displaced by modern research universities and influential government and private sector research foundations. Much was gained from this transformation, but something was lost as well.
