What is IHIQS?

IHIQS was started by Nathan Haselbauer as the New York High IQ Society in 2000, with the aim of promoting discussions on a variety of intellectual topics. The organization became IHIQS later that year to reflect its growing international membership and is open to individuals who have demonstrated an IQ in the top five percent of the population.

We have thousands of members from all across the globe and are legally established in The Netherlands. Current president is Dr. Edwin van Thiel and daily contacts and community management are handled by Dr. Alice Karen Burridge. Both live in the greater Amsterdam area.
