The High IQ Society
Mentioned in an entry below--about whether or not my criminal charge(s) should remain in effect--that I was raised by genius "wolves"! There's a non-profit organization called "MENSA" which is for people with very high IQs--Intelligence Quotients. [There's an international office with branches in other countries.] Members of Mensa have to belong to the 98th percentile, or higher, of the IQs of the population--something like that!? The Mensa organization began at Oxford University in 1946, if I understand correctly. *** Haven't heard exactly how many of the police advisors may have belonged to Mensa; but if some of them have worked in not only one but numerous high-level positions--at the same time--in their careers, they've had to be quite intelligent, I believe! Some have had successful, professional careers and have also taught in universities. *** When I had psychological testing done around 30 years ago, the psychologist found me to be at the 98th percentile in general world knowledge. That wasn't my IQ, however, and I had been aware before then that my IQ wasn't in the "Genius" range. [Some people say, "Genius is 2% inspiration; and 98% perspiration!"--And I can understand what they mean.]
