Hm, I’ve trusted Steve Hsu on this. I don’t know if they only accept people in the 99,9th percentile or if folks in the 99,865th meet the criteria, too.
I guess it doesn’t matter too much.
EDIT: And I’ve changed the title again. Now it should be sufficiently vague.
I was under the impression that an IQ of 145 puts one in the 99.75% percentile but I never investigated too closely. Some stats:
″ rarity on a 15 SD (e.g. Wechsler) and 16 SD (e.g. Stanford-Binet) scale: 145 99.8650032777% 1 in 741
99.7542037453% 1 in 407
