The Purpose Of This Society
Isi-s (151-Society) was founded with the aim of bringing together intelligent individuals who also value creativity. The intention of the society is not to limit membership to individuals with only a high IQ, because IQ in itself is not a sufficient indicator of creativity. However, the only practical, objective and fair way we can discriminate at this level is to use high range or other IQ tests as tools for admission.
The Tests We Have Selected
The tests we have selected as the main tools for admission are those that we feel require a fair degree of creative thinking, especially at high levels (above the level of IQ 151). One must keep in mind that many of the high range tests have theoretical IQs attached to them, but this does not mean that it is only IQ that is being measured by them. These high range tests could also be measuring other qualities such as creativity, motivation and persistence. Therefore, we could simply be selecting people who are just good puzzle solvers and nothing more.
We are also capable of evaluating gene reports related to creativity and intelligence in specific reports based on reliable studies and accepted by Isi-s.
IQ And Intelligence
We do not in any way endorse the view that IQ is all that there is to intelligence as there is not one set definition of intelligence. While many scholars such as Arthur Jensen argue that IQ and g are the best representations of intelligence that we have, it is clear that IQ is only one piece of the puzzle. Other theorists such as Robert Sternberg and Howard Gardner advocate very different views. While IQ is undoubtedly important to some extent, it is only one measure of intellect. What might be even more important to measure is the extent to which IQ is utilized to its full potential.
Beyond IQ, we value achievements that positively impact our society, as well as recognitions that live up to high IQ.
