Welcome to the Metis High IQ Society

Metis is a high IQ society dedicated to recognizing and connecting individuals who demonstrate exceptional cognitive ability. Named after the Greek goddess of wisdom, deep thought, and practical intelligence, Metis represents more than just intellect — it symbolizes foresight, insight, and the constructive use of knowledge. Our society welcomes those who have achieved an IQ score of 125 or higher (SD15) on standardized intelligence tests, placing them in the top ~5% of the population.

Why the Name "Metis"?

In ancient Greek mythology, Metis was one of the Titans and the first consort of Zeus. She was revered for her wisdom, strategic thinking, and cunning intellect — traits that mirror the values our society promotes. Choosing Metis as our namesake reflects our mission to gather individuals who not only think deeply and critically but also apply their intelligence in creative, ethical, and impactful ways.

Membership Criteria

Membership in the Metis High IQ Society is open to anyone who can demonstrate a qualifying IQ score of 125 or above on a standardized, reputable intelligence test. We accept evidence from proctored tests such as the WAIS, Stanford-Binet, and Cattell, as well as properly normed online assessments approved by the G.A.I.N. network.

Once verified, members are granted access to our private forums, digital certificate of membership, and the broader high IQ community across our society network. Metis acts as a gateway for further intellectual exploration and connection, including optional pathways to our higher-IQ societies such as Aristeia (140 IQ) and Aetheron (155 IQ).

Our Purpose

The purpose of Metis is twofold: to provide a welcoming intellectual home for high-functioning individuals, and to facilitate the exchange of ideas across disciplines. Whether your interests lie in mathematics, philosophy, psychology, engineering, or the arts, Metis is a place to engage with like-minded peers who value depth, clarity, and curiosity.

We believe that intelligence is not merely a number, but a tool — and that tool becomes most valuable when wielded with wisdom, humility, and a desire to contribute meaningfully to the world around us.

Values We Stand By
