Thank you for considering the ECAO. We see the potential as enormous. These are some ground-rules to bear in mind. You will understand that we need to ensure that the information given and the forms and references are appropriate for all applicants. This is to protect you and the Sponsors. However, at this point, prior to documenting everything, you may submit the form preliminarily and thereafter complete all the details required. Please remember that we will only allow one application. If, however, you are admitted, you may progress through the various tiers and levels. If you become an Associate or Affiliate, you will also have the opportunity to progress on that track, or be "promoted" to Member or Associate, when and if you qualify. The applications of applicants who do not fit any one of the four criteria namely ethics, intelligence and education plus creativity may not be acknowledged. At this point, this website is being built and we are adding in secured servers. Nevertheless, we are taking formal applications, though the forms are in beta format. We are building a procedure whereby applicants will be able to put in their detailed information and a score will be generated. This will give them a good index of what level of Consultancy they may qualify for and whether or not they will qualify for ECAO. If you have discussed your possibly joining ECAO with the Executive Director, Dr Vernon Neppe, you may contact us at Admin@5ECA.com. If you have not, you may want to briefly indicate to us why you believe you qualify, and if appropriate, we will send you a scoresheet so you can preliminarily establish your score. Please remember the following guidelines so that your provisional note can be complete. Please ensure this is as complete as possible as only one application may be allowed if the individual is rejected. Ensure you include demographics such as your name, date of birth, geographical area, sex, educational degrees or diplomas as a minimum. Please also include an updated curriculum vitae, and the brief statement above accentuating the areas that have allowed you to qualify. 1. Intelligence tests that are not suitable are those that have been completed in an open test format. The test results need to be authenticated through ECAO admissions officer. 1 in 5000 will allow the potential for Membership. 1 in 1000 will allow the potential for Contributorship. This potential is provided the education and creativity requirements are met. Do not just send e.g. high IQ societal memberships. We need to know what tests these were on and what the conditions of the testing were irrespective of what the rarity of membership. We will not accept tests that were done at home, through the mail. Additionally, the other areas such as education, creativity and ethics must be covered. 2. The education elements are essential to admission and require at least 60 points. These are equivalent to a doctorate but there are several creative routes to attain this (See points systems under education, publications and creativity such as individual, social and one-time creative achievements). Publications count towards education, though they can be used for creativity, as well. Points under the category "publications" are allocated on a one to one basis. There are also mechanisms by which creativity points can be allocated towards education at 0.75 * equivalent. This is used specifically to allow qualification for ECAO. Additionally, the creativity elements require at least 25 points even for those with doctorates, and possibly far more if one does not have a doctorate because one is exchanging creativity points on a three quarter point education to one point creativity equivalent. Please remember that these criteria are formidable even for those with doctorates, and therefore very few of those who have even the intelligence requirements would be admitted to membership or contributorship of ECAO. However, if one has a 1 in 5000 intelligence, with less education points one can qualify for contributorship (40 instead of 80) at the Candidate Associate Level 1. 3. The ethical requirements as listed under www.5eca.com/ethics must be appropriately justified. Please do not apply if there has been any violation. For those wishing to apply please contact us at Admin@5eca.com. These documents are confidential. Please remember that documents sent to applicants by secured email (using Zmail/ ZSentry Mail -- see ZSentry.com) should be responded to by Zmail. Once you have applied, you should maintain the ethical confidentiality listed in the Ethics page. Violators run the risk that they can never be admitted into ECAO, plus will be subject to legal action.
Also, you will be required to have your profile pages and your letters of recommendation. The profile page will be available to sponsors and "friends". The recommendation letters may be available on request to these groups, and may be in your site. Therefore care must be taken to ensure it is adequate. Similarly, there is a declaration of continued ethical behavior that is required. To save time, initially you may fill in the application to see whether you qualify, and at what level. Once this is confirmed, you must fill in the detailed information, which may or may not be reviewed or audited. At that point, the letters described under ethics will be due. Only after these reviews, will you be admitted for consultancy. Clarity of information will considerably speed up this process.
5. Affiliates must significantly motivate prior to receiving a Provisional Application why they think they will qualify. Unless this is done, their letter will not even be considered. Affilates do not have a formal intelligence requirement though their records should be such that they are expected to be of exceptional intelligence though they have not had formal testing, and they must have achieved even more significantly than Associates or Members in the areas of creativity and education. (See /tiers and /border and /apply). Because of the difficulty with assessing Affiliates, we will only, at this point, take applications from individuals who have been recommended by a board member in our society. We know this is problematic because the names of board members are not made available, so effectively unless someone without the formal intelligence testing levels demonstrating at least 1 in 1000 is actively invited, we're afraid that you will not be able to even apply. This will change but processing of such an pre-application may be a lengthy affair and will require a significant processing cost. Guidelines to assist the application.
Please read the above information for a perspective although some of the contents below repeat it. Please contact us at Admin@5eca.com and indicate you want to apply for an ECAO consultancy. If you have not been approached, you should indicate at what level you think you will be admitted (Member, Associate, Affiliate) based on your examination of the www.5eca.com/tiers tables. After requesting to apply, you will be sent an application form Please complete it in detail. We recognize this may take time, but on the other hand, it is minor compared to the degree of importance of your possible consultancy appointment. The following is required at the time of Provisional Application. Once you have been notified about the status of your Provisional Application, we will require all of the following to complete the application. If you want, you can attach it with the application. 1. Your profile photo which you sent. Consultants are encouraged to regularly update their information including their CV. Until September 1, 2010, we are not categorizing individuals into Levels, simply into categories: Members, Associates or Affiliates or don't qualify. Unsolicited unqualified applicants will not be allowed to apply again.
