Looking up one of the phrases from Langdon's statistical report ("Four Sigma Members") led me briefly to the rabbit hole of high-IQ societies, of which there seem to be many.

Neat little interview here with Ronald Hoeflin, who habitually organizes high-IQ societies: https://in-sightpublishing.com/2022/02/28/an-interview-with-...

Hope he is doing well. Sounds like he has spent a very long time working on an Encyclopedia of Categories ( https://www.usiassociation.org/post/encyclopedia-of-categori... ).

Its not clear to me what the purpose of the high IQ societies Hoeflin founded was other than to give him a prominent role that he did not have at Mensa.

> I was also very shy and unable to put myself forward socially in Mensa groups. At the higher-IQ levels, however, I had the prominent role of editor and even founder

Its not my experience of Mensa which mostly operates in small groups. I just do not find people having a high IQ necessarily gives them a great deal in common.
