Section 1: Clarifying High-Range IQ Society Membership and Purpose
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: Since the high-range testing and high-I.Q. society series is finished, I am taking this as a one-off based on a request from you. You needed some public clarification based on prior interviews. Some emails have been sent to you. Some confusion in the public about you. So, let’s make this straightforward: What is your involvement in the various high-range IQ societies? Which ones have you been in? Which ones are you in? What do you think is the future of these groups?
Veronica Palladino, M.D.: Thank you very much for this opportunity, a conclusion after previous interviews of April, July, August 2022, and foreword of 2024. I receive numerous emails and Facebook’s messages in reference to my participation in the high range iq societies. I want to clarify that the high range iq societies are a gym for thought, for logic, for reasoning ability. The discussions about score and classification of intelligent quotient are just a way of simplifying an extremely complex topic. Iq is a measure like any other. The important element is to know, to expand one’s capabilities.
I am member of different high range iq societies: Epiq as honorary member, TOPS OATHS, Atlantiq iq society, TGMIN, Dark Pavilion, China High Iq Network Genio Grupo, GLIA, League of Perfect Scorers, Leviathan, Misty Pavilion, Space- TIME society, Supernova, Venus, Catholiq, Immortal Society, China Town Brainpower Club, Mensa, Myriad Society, Prudentia, Quasar Quorum high iq society, Real iq society, Synaptiq society, Ultima iq society, Hidden position society, SECRET society, Elysian Trust (Volant society), Vertex, EPIMETHEUS, Syncritiq Institute, World Genius Directory, Triple Nine Society, Grand iq society, Intruellect iq society, Milenija, True iq society, Universal Genius society, Poetic Genius Society, The Literarians, Real iq society, HRTR (High Range Testees, Registry), ISPE (ex member), Sidis society (prospective member), Hall of Sophia.
I am winner of WGR world genius registry 2022 Competition, one of the winners of Road to Damascus Competition 2021.
I am Director of Healthcare of Bethany institute created by the President of Catholiq, Domagoj Kutle a real genial person.
My name is recorded on the Global Genius Registry, WGD list, World Famous Iq scores, Iq Ranking List, Top iq scores, World Genius Registry.

My new book on poetry will focus on human fragility, suicide, depression, malaise, obsessions that are not topics to be afraid of but pathologies from which with love and care one can recover. A wise introduction will be written by you, Scott Jacobsen a perfect Professor of human soul.
Section 3: Future Projects and Academic Development
Jacobsen: What are future projects for you? Do these build on previous research or creative endeavours?
Palladino: After degree in Medicine (degree’s prize for result and length of studies in 2016) and specialization in Clinical Pathology and Biochemistry and a Diploma in General Medicine, I completed a Master’s degree in Emergency Medicine and I started another one in healthcare management (not yet finished).
Section 4: Current Areas of Study and Philosophical Foundations
Jacobsen: What is your current subject of study (and related fields)? What research questions are you answering? Why pick these areas of study in the first place?
Palladino: My interests are Transfusional Medicine and Health’s economy.
My passion is philosophy. I have read Edmund Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology a philosophical approach that focuses on subjective experience and the structure of consciousness.
Husserl argues that transcendental phenomenology can provide a secure foundation for knowing and understanding reality.
Phenomenological reduction: the process of suspending judgment and bracketing presuppositions to access pure experience.
Intentional consciousness: consciousness is always directed toward something, whether an external object or an internal thought.
Transcendental ego: the experiencing subject that constitutes the world.
Noema: the object of consciousness, which can be an external object or an abstract concept.
I study Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Jean-Paul Sartre.
Section 5: Personal Priorities and Motivations
Jacobsen: How would you describe your life today? What priorities occupy you?
Palladino: My priority, at the moment, is cultural and professional growth. I would like to improve and overcome limits and with my poems, I would like to shout out loud for those who cannot do so.
Jacobsen: Thank you for the notes of clarification for everyone, Veronica.
