[Rebecca Game [EMAIL PROTECTED] , net-hap, 06May98.] Julie Baxter, [former] first chairwoman of the British branch of Mensa, is starting a new "Atticus" society that will use new IQ tests sensitive to emotional intelligence and "the special qualities of the female intellect." (The name Atticus comes from the lawyer hero of "To Kill a Mockingbird.") Mensa tests involve "puzzles and games," at which men are more likely to excel. (E.g., which of the following words doesn't belong: canopy, stun, defend, stupid, damp. Or, extend the series 1, 10, 3, 9, 5, 8, 7, 7, 9, 6, ...) Psychologist Daniel Goleman defines emotional intelligence as "the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships." Qualities such as initiative, trustworthiness, self-confidence, and adaptability may be important for the new society. Mensa (founded 1946) has more than 100K members, including about 40K in the US. Although its top-2% goal or 148 IQ threshold can be debated, the society does help members meet others of similar intellect. See <www.mensa.org/>or <www.us.mensa.org./> for more info.
