The Mega Society is a high IQ society. It was founded in 1982 by Ronald K. Hoeflin to facilitate psychometric research.
History
The Mega Society was founded in 1982 by Ronald K. Hoeflin. The society's journal has been published since January 1982, and was originally called the Circle. It changed its name to Noesis in July 1987 and is currently, the journal is published on an irregular basis.
In the 1989 edition of The Guinness Book of World Records claimed that the Hoeflin Research Group was the most elite ultra High IQ Society with percentiles of 99.9999 or one in a million required for admission.
Criticism
The Mega test is described as a "nonstandardized test" by a psychologist who wrote a 2012 book on the history of IQ testing. In addition, there is controversy about whether these tests have been properly validated.
The standard scores on most currently normed IQ tests fall in a range whereby a score of 160 corresponds to a rarity of about 1 person in 31,560. Leaving aside error of measurement common to all IQ tests, this falls short of the Mega Society's 1 in a million requirement. IQ scores above this level have been criticized as being dubious as there are insufficient normative cases upon which to base a statistically justified rank-ordering.
