Levels of Membership
Levels of admission:
Additionally there are:
Contributors are not or have not yet achieved membership as at this point.
These levels and tiers are collectively referred to as Contributors:
Associates (Individuals)
Affiliates (Individuals)
Adjuncts (Individuals)
The same hierarchy exists in Associates and Affiliates. They can, for example, be Associate Fellows. This would most usually mean that they achieved the 1 in 1000 cut-off but not the 1 in 5000 cut-off. This is so as if they qualified at the 1 in 5000 intelligence level, they would not be Associates, given their other scores.
