An Intelligent Man
The Village Voice website has an article about Ronald Hoeflin, a man who obsesses about IQ tests. Since the early '80s, he's founded four societies for the "severely gifted": the Top One Percent Society, One-in-a-Thousand Society, Prometheus Society (top .003 percent), and Mega Society (top .0001 percent). He was in Mensa for a while but was too shy to attend meetings and once turned round after driving 50 miles to a meeting.Because standardized tests are not designed to go much higher than 150, Hoeflin, Langdon, and a handful of others have created their own homemade exams. Hoeflin's Mega Test was published in Omni magazine in 1985 as the "World's Most Difficult IQ Test." The article goes on to discuss problems High IQ people have with communicating with those of lesser intelligence. You can find it here.
