sPIqr Society

sPIqr is an internet-based IQ group founded on 18th February 2010 with the purpose of bringing together people who pass a certain percentile in two or more IQ tests that they have selected for admission.

In order to join the group, the minimum IQ score on one accepted test was 153, s.d. 15 (see Qualification).
Only first attempts were considered as a valid score.

Only one person in 5,000 of the general population is a potential member.

Theoretically, there are more than 1,000,000 members on Earth.

By comparison with Mensa, the largest society of this kind in the world,
the admission qualification was over 100 times more selective.

The acronym sPIqr derives from the Italian pronunciation of what is without doubt the most famous crest of the ancient Roman Republic: S.P.Q.R., that is, "Senatus Populusque Romanus".
Furthermore, pi=3.1415... is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter.
In the mind of humankind, the circle has always  represented the ideal of  perfection; Dante Alighieri wrote in his masterpiece that God had revealed himself to the writer via three circles of different colors. Obviously sPIqr also contains the letters "IQ", which indicates the core element of this kind of virtual cafe.

The purpose of the sPIqr is make the whole world aware of how important

the inclusion of gifted children is within the school system.

Often these brilliant children have to face up to a hostile environment

that does not allow them to fully express their abilities.
