Any of ya hangin' here? What's the criteria? Heck, I may even qualify!
Sure as hell not me. My hyperactive 10yo son tested 140 on an IQ test 2 weeks ago during the course of trying to figure out why he can't sit still in and be quiet in class and why he's so critical of his classmates when they can't understand concepts. The kid is bored out of his mind in class, finishes his work early and then gets into trouble.

That's the closest I'll get.

I think you've got to be in the 98th percentile and higher for membership.
