Founded in 1982 by Ronald K. Hoeflin to facilitate psychometric research,〔 〕 the Mega Society is a high IQ society open to people who have scored at the one-in-a-million level on a test of general intelligence claimed to be able to discriminate at that level. The Guinness Book of World Records once stated that the most elite ultra High IQ Society is the Mega Society with percentiles of 99.9999 or 1 in a million required for admission. The public profile of the Mega Society increased with the publication of the Mega Test in 1985 by Hoeflin.〔 〕 In his article, ''Omni'' reporter Scot Morris noted the claim that Mega Society is the most selective high-IQ society: :''Mensa, the most famous () group, is open to one person in 50 ... The Triple Nine Society has a 1-in-1,000 cutoff (the 99.9th percentile, hence the name). And the Prometheus Society shoots for 1 in 30,000. But the most restrictive group is the Mega Society, which is theoretically limited to one person in a million (the 99.9999th percentile).'' ==Notable members== Notable people who have taken the Mega Test, meeting the Mega Society entrance requirements, include Chris Langan, author and columnist Marilyn vos Savant, mathematicians Solomon W. Golomb and Keith Raniere, and the former governor of New Hampshire and former White House Chief of Staff John H. Sununu.〔 This article also discusses Dr Hoeflin and the Mega Society.
