Dating Site for Intelligent People Launched in the UK
LONDON, July 2 /PRNewswire/ -- A dating website exclusively for intelligent people has now launched in the UK. IntelligentPeople.com is an online dating and networking community which requires that its members pass an IQ test in order to join. IntelligentPeople.com is intended for people with an IQ app. in the top 15% of the population. In comparison, you need an IQ in the top 2% of the population to become a member of Mensa. People with an IQ in the top 15%, are said to be "highly intelligent". Most often, highly intelligent people communicate and interact best with other intelligent people. IntelligentPeople.com was created on the basis of that fact, with the purpose of giving intelligent people an opportunity to meet and form relationships, regardless of location, education and social status. "Intelligent people usually want a partner who is also intelligent. Everyone wants someone they can talk to," says the founder of IntelligentPeople.com, Trine Jensen. "At general dating sites, you have to spend time and energy, sorting profiles to find the ones that match that criterion. At IntelligentPeople.com we already made that sorting for you." To become a member of IntelligentPeople.com, you will need to pass the IQ test required for admission. You take the test directly at the website. The IQ test consists only of black and white images and is designed to be culture fair, meaning it will test intelligence while minimising cultural or educational biases. It is not possible to take the test more than twice. This ensures that only people who actually can pass the test, become members. IntelligentPeople.com is not strictly a dating website, but may also be used if you are looking to engage in discussions with other people with high IQ's, find a new job or a business partner, make new friends, or simply meet other people at similar IQ levels. IntelligentPeople.com launched in Denmark 3 months ago, 2 months ago in an international version, and now the UK gets its own version of the intelligent people website. More than 70,000 people worldwide have taken the IQ test and attempted to become a member, but only about 15% of people who take the test, pass it. You may take the IQ test and become a member at http://www.intelligentpeople.com.
