In the Spirit of Collegial Inquiry...

Becoming a Colloquy Member

If your intellectual abilities place you above the 99.5 percentile on any of these tests, you are invited to provide that information, your name, preferred e-mail address, and optional homepage URL. A clear photocopy of the original score report will be sufficient in nearly all instances. It must identify you, the test(s) administered, and the approximate test date. The email address to initiate the application process is:

membership (at) colloquysociety (dot) org

You may be asked to send hardcopy in the mail. Please do not send originals; the copy will be retained in confidence and not returned. Additional scores are welcome, qualifying or not, and would be helpful in improving our statistical data on test equivalence. The parallel requirement for qualification is your introduction to the group through submission of a brief personal sketch (a template below) via email. If your homepage already presents a suitable introduction, it would suffice to provide the URL in lieu of this personal sketch. We particularly enjoy having members representing a wide array of nations, cultures, ethnic backgrounds, unusual fields of study, and certainly the voices of women should be more numerous in our forum!

Your application to Colloquy implies a commitment to polite discussion; a pledge to maintain cordial discussion of any topic. Members hold a discreet veto on admissions, primarily to deter the few who have achieved minor notoriety in disruptive behaviors. Colloquy particularly seeks the knowledgeable, creative, expressive, and benevolent people designing wonderful sites on the Internet. Upon acceptance, membership in Colloquy is yours so long as you wish it! You may participate vigorously, go on sabbatical at times, play the lurker, whatever. Of course, a certain willingness to initiate and respond is the source of worthwhile experience.

* Occasionally the daily mail volume can exceed a dozen posts when a particularly enticing topic is under discussion. It may be rather undesirable to receive these on an account used at work, of course. The important matter is that your posts to the list match the address at which you receive mail from the list. If this could pose a problem, we recommend that you obtain a free e-mail account at one of the many servers which offer this.
