MENSA
Who here joined MENSA? Thinking about trying to do it. How was the exam was it hard? Do you have to pay an annual membership to keep it? How was the club like?

Sounds based, go for it.
I swear people can find stuff anyway today
That's fake as shit, one thousand and seven hundred women all posted nudes because a guy said "I want to see boobs!". Yeah, it's more likely to see the sun rise in the fucking West
Jealous you didn't get in?
I scored over 150 on an official IQ test, but decided not to join. There is a strong social stigma against MENSA, and for good reason; the majority of its members have no purpose in joining besides jerking each other off on a (mostly) irrelevant number so as to mask the fact that they have nothing else in their lives - college, prestige, net worth - to show for
I heard the youngest VC partner is a MENSA member and she is proud of it. Anyway I scored 200+ on Buzzfeed IQ test >:)
“The highest reported standard score for most IQ tests is IQ 160, approximately the 99.997th percentile ”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_classification
If you really do have such a high IQ - you should join one of these:

Literally every MENSA member:
believe you can join if you score >95% on a graduate admission test a la GMAT
I'm mensa eligible, I thought about joining to have conversations with other people and try to exercise my mind
here's why I've decided not to join
1. IQ tests are poor measures for intelligence, so you're going to be joining a group with other good test takers rather than people who will challenge you
2. many mensans are socially inept. arrogance, hubris, narcissism, you name it, it's there
3. there are plenty of other ways to exercise your mind. have you ever tried to explain a complex concept to someone outside of the industry? I believe teaching something complex in simple terms is the best mark of intelligence. have you tried learning a foreign language, a musical instrument, or tried starting a business? all are great ways to work your mind that don't involve getting dinner with a bunch of vitamin D deficient pricks
your mileage may vary, but I see very little upside, so that's not a favorable trade imo
Yeah I noticed too. I browse a lot of Mensans bio and they literally write biographies about themselves (a girl is a YOUNGEST VC PARTNER)

No hate but her vc bio is so try hard
I look at how achieving a college degree inflates the ego of many, who then see themselves as better than those who don't have one. A certification that turns prejudices into adamant beliefs, no matter what counter evidence you can present.
At least you can say that a degree brings some benefits, notably because some employers require it. A mensa membership is pretty much an equivalent, without the benefits.
Not a single Mensa member has lost their virginity. Not even one - ever. Sure join Mensa, but be prepared not to fuck.
Amen
Another poster was claiming thousands of MENSA women were showing off their breasts cause someone asked for boobs on the Facebook page
Why is no one asking the real question here? Hardly anyone who posts on the Off Topic forum would be a member of MENSA. All due respect to those of you who don't post rubbish, which I know is a good chunk of the monkey population on WSO, but let's not kid ourselves.
By the way, I know I'm gonna get MS for this. I put the disclaimer on there for a reason.
Idk I just knew about this since on paper of a youngest VC partner is one (like wtf is even the youngest VC partner)
Sorry, meng. When I wrote that, I was really pissed off about something else. I've seen some of your posts around here. You've got some cool stuff to share.
Idk man. Generally people in MENSA and people who post in off topic are socially retarded .. so could be some overlap
You should **** the word. It is not a nice word to mention haha.
But could they be a member of Mensa? I could - but don’t see the point. I bet many on here Could qualify.
Haha
Ari Spyros this u?
No this is Harvey Specter
