Is somebody here a member?
I'm going to take an exam in July or so, and I want to know if you have any suggestions/comments/experiences/whatever about Mensa.

Haha, seriously me n a friend took the test, got accepted, he joined I didnt when I found out it costs money... I´m a cheap F*** I know... He left after a month, he´s a non-drinker, and he told me I hadnt missed anything, but I would think that a person that drinks and enjoy conversations with peers would like it! Yeah so the test wasnt hard, its like a normal IQ test... You´d have to be mensa not to pass (Did I use it in the right way? I dont speak a word of spanish, well maybe a word, actually more like 20 or 30 words, but only 2 coherent sentences...)

I might just take the test to see if I qualify, pay for a month and then bye.

I think it's crappier (well, I actually am 99% sure it's crappier), but because that it's the same international organization, it should have the same curricular value.

The minimum required IQ is 130, right? On that point, at least, I qualify. I don't have any experience with them, though.

It's being in the top 2% of the population. The IQ depends on the test you took and the distribution they used and many complicated math things I don't wanna look up.

My IQ is a quite a bit above 130 as well so I guess I'd qualify and good luck with that. But on the other hand, what's the point really?
