Mensa Members?

@bad_moose Maybe he has some kind of Autism or something? And i'm not trying to say this in any bad way. Like i went to school with a guy that had autism he screamed at random stuff and was just as annoying as you possibly could get and was all immature and such. Even tho all of that he was really smart went out with straight A's And such. And im not saying that Autism Means that you scream for no reason i was just taking him as an example.

Yeah I get what you mean. I think you might be right to be honest. Even if it's not autism I reckon he must have something a little bit wrong, his behaviour is just so different to anything I've ever seen.

I've aced the MENSA workout, and my AP Psychology teacher suggested that I contacted them but I deterred from doing so. A "High IQ" society that basically welcomes anyone with open arms if they past their bias intelligence test. After doing some research in the past, I've found that there are all sorts of ordinary people such as construction workers who've been accepted into their organization. However, the strangest person I've read about that's currently a member of MENSA was a porn star.

To be fair just because you make porn or do construction doesn't mean you don't have an insane IQ. Einstein spent a good portion of his life working as a patent clerk and he is credited with discovering some of the most important theories in theoretical physics. The Mensa work out clearly says it is a brief sample and not meant to be taken as any indicator. So that be like taking a 20 question sample from the BAR and passing and saying you should be a lawyer.

Posted this on the last page:

While I am not in MENSA in my high school career I was a member of gifted and talented. You had to take 4 exams I think and the highest score you could get was a 16 iirc. 3 out of 4 I scored over 14 which was excellent and 1 I scored a 15 and another I scored 16. The only one I scored above average on was math because I absolutely detest math. Each was timed and the longest you got was like 45 minutes for the math portion and it was 30 or so questions. The shortest was for patter recognition and reasoning and it was only like 25 or 30 minutes with like 45 questions - it was one of those on your toes thinking kind of tests.

The tests were pattern recognition/abstract reasoning (15), Science (14), and comprehension of the English language (16).

Never been interested in paying fees and all to get little to no perks. The only thing you get is saying you are in Mensa really.

The only people who join Mensa are those with something to prove.
Can't remember who said it, but it sums up Mensa well - Jimmy Savile was a member, Steven Hawkings is not.
People who join Mensa are the sort that when asked about "would they get into Mensa" the response "god no" would be received, in order to prove something that is otherwise not evident.

Fairly sure Mensa is not even that hard, like someone said, top 2% IQ. That really is not something to brag about generally.
