Glad I quit that organization decades ago.


Utterly predictable.

it is predictable.
the editor of the Brainwave is now a black woman.

I have an IQ over 150 and qualified to join MENSA and went to one of their meetings and it was 90% polyamorous psychologists. Disgusting crowd.

I was offered to join Mensa but I turned it down I didn't want to go through all that crap

around here it's just nerds that like trivia. boring crowd.

I kept the letter though after all these years lol

there really is not much of a reason to join it. they don't do anything.

they basically just want your 75 dollars, and then they try to sell you Pride merchandise.

fuck em.

My invitation was back in 1979 way before all this Pride crap

are you related to the genious dennis leary?

That's amazing how you were apart of Mensa! Thats an honor. Sadly, they have gone woke.

It was very brief.

Went to one meeting and it was boring as all hell.

The smartest people really have the propensity to be the dumbest motherfuckers out there... case in point.

I wonder what percent of the "high IQ" society is vaxxed these days.


"Trust the science!"

i knew him in grade school. he punched me in 5th grade.

Mensa is just a a bunch of nonsense anyway. Think about it. Tests developed by smart people, but exceptionally smart people cannot have the depth of intelligence tested for by tests. What if they exceed them? Who would know?
And most brilliant people trade one or more social skill, more or less, to be brilliant. And if you are truly intelligent, you come to the same conclusion: simplicity is best. Being a dishwasher, a janitor or just a cattle hand keeps the destructive and predatory inquisitors at bay. Truly brilliant people realize and calculate that if they actually continuously beat their head against a wall with others trying to help humanity, they will be destroyed or destroy others in the process. Mensa isn’t a intellectual bastion, it’s a stupid arbitrary status symbol for those who want people to know they are smart. Think tanks, scientific communities , it’s all a game. Live in nature and live in peace. That is what truly smart people do. Virtue signaling is actually intellectually dumb.
And smart people avoid the crowd.

Ya. i wonder about that. always felt like i was just good at test taking...i knew i wasn't dumb, but never felt that smart either.

No, you're really just ignorant on this topic.
It's been researched and proven that if you wanted to pick the best dishwasher or janitor...you will likely do it by picking the highest IQ person.

IQ correlates to success in almost all professions.

Smart just means you have general intelligence, like you can solve puzzles faster than most and see solutions to problems that are lost on the rest.

You can learn new things faster than the average bear, no matter which situation you're placed in.

It doesn't preclude one from being a totally brainwashed zombie though, apparently.

Yeah, that pissed me off as well. I don't think I will renew after receiving that today. Why did they need to do that, seriously? Getting sick of this codling of the pets.

They had some meetings at some fun burger bars that I use to go to. But yeah if you don't go to the meetings or the parties then there's not much to do.

It always seemed to be overrated, to the point of cliche.

True intelligence is difficult to measure accurately, and real intelligence avoids crowds and groups with trendy names.

Well here is the question I've always asked...FASTER

If you answer 135 questions and get 130 right in 90 minutes.

Are you 'more intelligent' than a guy that took 180 minutes, but he answered 140 with 0 wrong?

...only they cut him off after 90 mintues...so he didn't finish the test?

Claiming to be a member of Mensa is the same as claiming to be gay so this seems like a natural thing to sell.

That's true I was in tech and at one point in my career I had all the techs take an IQ test. The best techs had the best scores and it made it easy when I had to make cuts.

Agree...

This is a political statement, and it doesn't belong in Mensa. Period.

I hate that organization.

I would never pay a fee to belong to a group or to wear a label.

As far as I'm concerned, they should be paying me.

The Insurance Companies and Banks all gave IQ tests and based Tech hires on them back in the days when everyone was writing their own code in Cobol

uh...i don't think that's gonna' happen

I've considered this as well... that's a tough one.

Da Vinci is my hero... so I'm a quality over quantity guy at heart.

My take is this:

If someone can answer 140 right in 180 minutes but there's the guy that can do 140 right in 90... the 90 minute guy is obviously superior.

That said, both are very bright.
