I.Q. Tests for the High Range

Prize of the Beheaded Man

Now and then a prize is announced for the highest scorer on a particular test before a particular date. This is to encourage people to take that test, so that more data will come in for norming and other statistics. Below is a list of awards thus won; the first was called "Prize for Genius", the later ones are called "Prize of the Beheaded Man". The early history of this prize is told in The History of I.Q. Tests for the High-Range, and also occurs in the novel Field of eternal integrity.
