Its not clear to me what the purpose of the high IQ societies Hoeflin founded was other than to give him a prominent role that he did not have at Mensa.

> I was also very shy and unable to put myself forward socially in Mensa groups. At the higher-IQ levels, however, I had the prominent role of editor and even founder

Its not my experience of Mensa which mostly operates in small groups. I just do not find people having a high IQ necessarily gives them a great deal in common.
