United States

I joined IHIQS to engage with bright, like-minded, yet diverse individuals, and my experience has far exceeded my expectations. IHIQS is a melting pot of ideas and critical thinking and has sparked many fascinating conversations since I joined.

I joined IHIQS as an expression of my support for standardized tests in general, both as a flashlight (often the only) helping to identify talent in unexpected social strata, and in doing so, promote upward social mobility. IHIQS can also be an instrument with which society can optimize the use of human resources. In addition, I think that when 3,000+ exceptional intellects are brought together, they can eventually produce an undividable something that is much bigger than the sum of its 3,000+ parts.

I'm so happy I was finally able to join IHIQS. There are times when I want to talk about specific topics in abstract ways, and the IHIQS community affords me this luxury. We talk about all sorts of things in our forums, from science to technology to art and beyond - it's an incredible experience. Additionally, I love that IHIQS is a worldwide community, so that I can discuss opinions and ideas with people from different backgrounds and life circumstances than I have. Being an IHIQS member is one of the most rewarding and mentally-invigorating experiences available to us and I am thankful and proud to be part of this remarkable community.
