Additionally, the ECAO allows for Supporters (Affiliates, Associates, Institutional Subscribers) and Donors.
AFFILIATE : Level Af. Affiliates have a demonstrable interest in exceptional achievement and creativity and have achieved at least two of the requirements of the society, and have achieved at least 60 points.
If the IQ cut off is at the 1KIQ cut off (i.e. 1 in 1000 plus ethics) level Affiliates may qualify for Associate. They can participate but are not members of the society. (Level 0Af). Because they are friends they are required to subscribe and there is a fee. They still require approval of the ethical requirements, and of the educational requirements. Affiliates will be allowed to progress on their own affiliate tracks.
(if they have 1 in 5000 IQ plus the ethics they qualify at minimum for associate)
ASSOCIATE: Level As. Associates have not achieved all the requirements to become candidates of the society, and have achieved 70 points
Most commonly but not necessarily they have not achieved the 5KIQ cut off but have achieved the 1KIQ cut off (i.e. 1 in 1000 plus ethics) SKIQ plus 35 education points and 35 creativity points or a combination of both making up ≥70 points.
Alternatively, they may have achieved the 5KIQ requirements (5KIQ and creativity but not yet either the minima in educational achievement (<35) or creativity (<35) or the combination (<70). [ if they had achieved 5KIQ and education but not creativity they would qualify for aspirant candidate because they would have 80 points]. Associates can participate but are not members of the society. (Level 0). Because they are supporters they are required to subscribe and there is a fee. They still require approval of the ethical requirements, and of the educational requirements. Affiliates will be allowed to progress on their own affiliate tracks.
Affiliates and Associates have access to the network of members on our network.
Affiliates and Associates have access to any publications at the same costs as Members.
Affiliates and Associates may at any point, one time submit their credentials for membership to the ECAO reviewing board. The decision is final and cannot be appealed in any way.
There are ways for associates to progress based on levels which eliminate the 5KIQ requirement.
