“Cerebrals Society is dedicated to the search of high intellectual giftedness among individuals, bringing highly gifted individuals together, and making full use of high intellectual giftedness for the good of human society in general, where possible. Cerebrals Society will strive to reach understanding and promote thoughtfulness within as without, to spread what it gathers and reach always one step further into uncertainties of humanity. In this, we may fail from time to time, but final successes are always traced by the failures that preceeded.”

This table shows the only updated and official list of admission tests with their required scores. Other supervised tests may be accepted as well. Many cognitive ability test scores will qualify for Cerebrals. However, applying on the basis of an unlisted test must have been firstly approved by the Cerebrals’ Psychometrician. Note that a review by the BUROS Institute is mandatory for any other test used in USA.
Although stand-alone internet-based testing is not acceptable for Cerebrals admission, the Cerebrals Cognitive Ability Tests (CCAT) may be used as a confirmatory measure whenever further testing is required. Cerebrals allows persons whom scored within the 99th and the 99.6th percentile ranks on any of the tests listed below, to apply for membership if they reach a CCAT Index of 141 or greater (applicable in ages 14:8 to 75 years). Furthermore, Cerebrals accepts Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores if accompanied by an appropriate CCAT Index. This applies for the Raven’s Progressive Matrices as well.
