GIGA SOCIETY PROFESSIONAL (GSP)
As an experimental high-range IQ project, GIGA Society Professional is an extremely high IQ society for the certified highest IQ people who scored at or above IQ 190 (SD 15) on an acceptable high-range IQ test, in partnership with World Memory Sports Council & World Memory Championships founded by Tony Buzan, the inventor of Mind Maps.
GIGA Society Professional was founded by The Brain Trust in 1989 under the name “Brain Club” as a nonprofit organization in the United Kingdom.
*GIGA Society Professional was acquired by the Brain Trust and the World Memory Sports Council, which is an official partner of Guinness World Records.
GIGA Society Professional has a total of nine members worldwide, including individuals from Asia, Europe, and America. Their diverse professional backgrounds include MIT graduates and university professors. GIGA Society welcomes geniuses from all over the world.
The President of GIGA Society Professional is Dr. Tom Chittenden who is an Honorary Professor in the Department of Artificial Intelligence at the University of London.
What is the GIGA Society Professional?
GIGA Society Professional, GSP (gigsociety.net) is an exclusive high-IQ society for individuals with certified IQs highest than 190 (SD 15). The society is operated by a team of professionals, including AI and statistics experts, medical doctors, and brain sports championships specialists. GIGA Society Professional is an official partner of the World Memory Championships, and its President is Professor Tom Chittenden, who holds a PhD in Statistics from the University of Oxford and a PhD in Biotechnology from Virginia Tech. He is also an Honorary Professor of AI at the University of London.
Distinction from Other Websites : On the other hand, another Giga Society by Paul Cooijmans is a parody site, created as a derivative of the Mega Society (our top-ranked member of GIGA Society Professional was officially recognized by Mega Society with full-membership). The owner of this site does not hold any professional academic degrees. The quizzes on this site are not professionally designed; rather, they are hobbyist-driven activities by an individual with no formal academic background.
Fact-Checking and Clarification : We kindly request that you fact-check and clearly understand the distinction between these two sites to avoid confusion.
*Note that Paul Cooijmans is not a qualified expert. He does not hold any formal degree related to statistics or psychology, having only claimed a bachelor’s degree in guitar and composition.
EXPERIMENTAL HIGH RANGE IQ TEST
Experimental High-range IQ tests are specialized assessments designed to measure intelligence levels beyond the limits of conventional IQ tests. Standardized IQ tests such as the Stanford–Binet and Wechsler scales are effective for assessing intelligence up to approximately IQ 160 (SD 15). However, human intelligence, from a statistical perspective, is theoretically measurable up to around IQ 195 (SD 15). High-range IQ tests were developed to address this gap, providing a means to assess individuals at the uppermost levels of cognitive ability.
The standardization process for high-range IQ tests is inherently experimental due to the scarcity of individuals who score within this extraordinary range, which makes collecting sufficient normative data challenging. As a result, scores based on preliminary norms are often subject to scrutiny and skepticism. Nevertheless, the reliability and validity of high-range IQ tests are bolstered by a key observation: individuals who excel on these tests consistently perform well on traditional, validated IQ assessments.
GIGA Society Professional recognizes individuals with exceptional intelligence at the IQ 190 (SD 15) level based on high-range IQ tests. One of the society’s core missions is to identify and promote additional high-quality high-range IQ tests, ensuring continued advancements in the field. This initiative is currently managed by a council of two distinguished members, reflecting the society’s commitment to rigor and excellence in the assessment of extraordinary intellectual potential.
QUALIFICATIONS
- Renowned experimental untimed high-range IQ test score ≥ IQ 190 (SD 15) on 1st attempt.
- Once a test is used to admit a member to GIGA Society Professional, it may not be used again for the admission of any other members.
- Tests are adopted through review by external advisors and internal admission committee.
MEMBERSHIP TYPES
- All GIGA Society Professional members have full membership.
- Membership is free of charge
MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
- The function of GIGA Society Professional is to certify the “giga” intelligence level of each member. Therefore, all GIGA Society Professional members receive an official certificate from the society, documenting their IQ ≥ 190 (SD 15).
- Members communicate via private forums, through which they can interact with each other and collaborate on confidential projects.
