Cringe, IB isn’t exactly the most intellectual job.
Might as well write "I'm autistic" in big capital letters at the top of your resume.

The SAT is highly correlated with IQ so put it in there as a proxy especially if it’s 1550+. I got a 1590 and I put it right next to my GPA. I went to a state school that was known much more for sports than for academics and a lot of my interviewers/coffee chats cited it as a reason they took the call. This helps even more when the interviewer is Chinese/Indian in my experience.
They literally clown this behaviour in the first scene(s) of Industry. Also Mensa is known to be a "pay to enter" scam

It's not something actual super geniuses strive to do, congrats, you have an iq greater than ____. So does the clerk at my local card shop, but he uses his autism to memorize Pokémon combos.
If you really want to show how smart you are, show your gpa, school, internship, do a masters, get a quant based job, PhD, etc etc. because most careers in finance don't require a high iq
People clown on Mensa because the only people who brag about it are people with no other accomplishments in life. Same as people who go to an ivy and do nothing with their life - 20 years later and still talking about how they're an ivy league grad. News flash no one cares buddy go back to ur f500 marketing job. You don't see elon musk bragging about being a wharton/penn grad or whatever IQ he tested as - his success speaks for itself.
To build on what others have said, no, this is not a good idea and will hurt your prospects.
Convey your intelligence by talking thoughtfully about the experiences you've had in life and what you've learned from them. Convey it by answering technical questions correctly. Cheers
