Intertel is a high-IQ society that is open to those who have scored at or above the 99th percentile (top 1%) on one of various standardized tests of intelligence.[1] Intertel was founded in 1966 by Ralph Haines[2][3] and is listed in the World Genius Directory of High IQ Societies[4] and the GIFTED High IQ Network.[5] It has been identified as one of the notable high-IQ societies established since the late 1960s with admissions requirements that are stricter and more exclusive than Mensa.[6] The organization is divided into seven regions, has elected officers, and is said to have over 1,200 members from over 30 nations.[2][3] Intertel publishes a journal called Integra.[7] Additionally, Intertel advertises a hall of fame for some of its members.[8]
