SUMMARY
To join MENSA, individuals must achieve a score in the top 2% of a standardized IQ test, typically requiring a minimum IQ of 130, as confirmed by MENSA's official guidelines. Accepted tests include the Wechsler, Stanford-Binet, and Miller Analogies, although MENSA no longer accepts SAT or GRE scores. The discussion highlights skepticism regarding the value of IQ tests, with participants sharing personal experiences and opinions about MENSA's community dynamics and the nature of intelligence. Additionally, some members express concerns about the perceived elitism and effectiveness of MENSA in fostering meaningful intellectual engagement.
