Mensa

[RichardM]

Has anybody on here ever been a member? I passed the test, but they want £55 a year subscription, and I'm not really sure if it will be my thing.

I used to be a member but it was full if weirdos. There was no point in paying to be a member when you can meet weirdos for free in the pub or on the bus

I've passed a few tests in the past with high marks. I don't remember, but I've been told I had a very high IQ when i was about 9 or 10.
(it doesn't change much with time, apparently)
Never saw the attraction of joining this "elitist club", though.

Back to the original question my son was a member of MENSA in High school and later at University. Then he was able to claim a free subscription under their hardship fund. He is no longer a member. He thought membership might help him secure a job but the effect it had on his employer is impossible to assess. There are local meetings but he didn't bother to attend any.

There is not much point belonging unless you feel that you will get something out of it.

Lots of sources (they are there you just need to find them) saying that russians have hacked Mensa systems to falsely promote certain potential applicants (obviously it is a russian hack so there will be no trace) and undermine the integrity of the process.

I am easily led so accept the result on its merit. Well done

Ok forget Mensa, any freemasons on here willing to give out an invite?

They need to know how you got on in the test first!

If you pay the £55 you have failed the test IMO.

One has to wonder why any intelligent being would support CCFC.

[Rjk]

I actually took and passed the test when I was about 10 or 11, but baulked at paying the fee.
I thought it was more than £100 back in the day, but perhaps it just seemed like more.

Yeah, Coventry used to be a decent team, but they're shite now.

:facebalm:

Very soothing.

[Cleve van Leef]

Everyone passes so they've got a chance of taking £55 a year off people

Exactly!

That's why I said CCFC!
