If I told you, I'd have to kill you....no....wait....that's the other one. My spelling is lousy, so probably not then.

What does MENSA actually offer its membership? Other than boasting rights that is 🙂 I have often wondered what its purpose is.

Not a chance - I am far too intelligent to join.

You'd have to be pretty stupid to join really.

Who's in MENSA ?

What's this........an attempt to flush out AdamG and see if he's lurking incognito ?

I can't imagine anyone, apart from him, being prepared to claim to belonging to MENSA.

According to the Mensa FAQ you have to have an IQ of 132 or above. I thought it was for really smart people. Someone should invent a society for really clever people, not television presenters and failed inventors.

An organisation of self congratulation.

By which definition, every member of STW should be in it.

But being a clever c*** is not the same as being 'clever'.

.

[i]"According to the Mensa FAQ you have to have an IQ of 132 or above"[/i]

Really ? I thought it was an IQ of at least 150 😕

What's this ....... 'IQ inflation' gradually creeping in ?

.......give it a few more years and I might qualify 8)

Well that shows how thick you are then. 😉 It depends on which test you use apparently. On the Culture Fair Test, 132 is effectively a pass. Obviously since GCSE results get better every year, people must be getting smarter every year so this must rise all the time.
