Inventive Quotient, LLC

Inventive Quotient, LLC was formed in 2003 by Dr. William Maxwell and Larry N. Sanford. The company was formed to develop and market a CD ROM version of Dr. Maxwell's patented Inventive Quotient, I.Q., a set of games designed to help increase children's thinking abilities.

While Inventive Quotient, LLC is technically a "for profit" enterprise, all of the profits, after salaries and expenses, will go to support two non-profit educational institutions: The International Conference on Thinking, which was founded at the University of the South Pacific to bring outstanding researchers from all disciplines together to consult on how to improve the thinking skills of humans in all walks of life; and The Global Academy for International Athletics, which will train athletically talented children from all around the world to participate in the Olympics and other international sports competition. The Academy promises each student that he or she will also be prepared for a non-sports career after his or her sports career ends. Children are tested for admission into the Academy from age 8 and become residents at the academy on their 12th birthday. The students remain at the Academy for six years.
