I can just imagine the OP during his IQ test:

My group is called "Well clever people!" Joining fee is only £29.99 a year. We do lots of great activities such as sitting in a circle thinking deep thoughts and watching the women walk by the window.

Why would you pay £45 membership fee before knowing the advantages?

KNiVES · 2 Sep 2010 at 14:36

You must be pretty stupid to pay £45 per annum for a Mensa membership.

Yea yea beaten to the joke but whatever.

The best part was before the test began, the administrator lady was explaining the test and said "before we start, there's a pen + pencil infront of you, can you please check they work before we begin the test". So I pick up the pen and do a squiggle. The guy next to me across the table does the same with the pen, then picks up the pencil and does a squiggle...YES! THE PENCIL IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY! It was all I could do not to point and laugh, I don't think he belonged there...

What, so now you're a genius you can talk down to people?

What if the pencil had a broken tip or something?

Just tell the girls you have a big brain.

MajorMaccas · 2 Sep 2010 at 14:38

Haven't paid yet, just got the invitation to join...

Randomface74 · 2 Sep 2010 at 14:39

Q. How do you steal from smart people?
A. Make them take a test first.

So then the thread title is incorrect

Surely you could have figured that out

?

MajorMaccas · 2 Sep 2010 at 14:41

I hope the invitation wasnt a letter addressed to "The Occupant"

A.N.Other · 2 Sep 2010 at 14:42

Well you've been invited to join, but haven't done so yet. Ergo, you're not "in mensa".

Hmm, actually from reading this I think you'll fit right in. :rolleyes:

After some quick research, apparently the MENSA IQ test is quite easy, you should try the "megatest".

Honestly though, what's the point?

silvercut · 2 Sep 2010 at 14:44

this Mensa sounds like a good idea, im gonan make people do tests and charge them less then Mensa, lower the IQ requirement a bit and only charge £39.99 p/a... and PROFIT !

anksta · 2 Sep 2010 at 14:46

did you do the test by post first mate?

Some guy who works with my mate was braggin that he got 139 on the MENSA test by post so my mate did it and he got 155 which is in the top 0.1% or 0.01 or something anyway he was giving it large and I was telling him I could beat it so he said that if he paid the 10er for me to get it marked, I should do it.

Anyway i got mine back and it was 155 as well, are we just equally geniuses or is it a proper jip? He was all up for joining MENSA until I got mine back, now he's convinced he's been scammed.
