SYNOPSIS: The HIGH I Q'S or THE AMERICAN GENIUS is a title for a single winner of an intellectual competition. The highest scores determine the winner over a series of tests and tasks that include problem-solving and learning abilities in the fields of art, science and technology etc. PREMISE: The American public has seen singers, dancers, models; actors compete for prizes on national television. There is a desire for an intellectual competition whereby a single individual will be crowned "The American Genius.

These corporations will also compete to win the bid to hire the American genius. PLOT: Contestants will be selected from open casting calls and the competition will be open for all ages.

Contestants with the lowest points after each show will be rejected from proceeding to the next level. Each of the tests will be more challenging than the previous ones, making the tests more difficult to pass. Contestants are issued cards without knowing whether they are moving on or have been rejected. The scene at this moment will feature a dramatic delay in anticipation of the "reject" or "green light" result. Imagine, the facial expression of a contestant standing, facing an automated machine, waiting to be declared a "green light".
