The High IQ Society
Mensa: the High IQ Society, is an international club for really bright people.
Our sole requirement for membership, is a score at or above the 98th percentile on an
approved IQ test.
As an organization, Mensa holds no opinions and champions no causes.
Our members have a great many opinions, interests, and causes, which we
help them pursue via Special Interest Groups or:
SIGS.
Our mission is to create communities of bright people, from all
different interests and professions...
and watch what happens.
Bright people are usually passionate about ideas.
You can be confident that, lively and interesting discussions
just naturally take place, wherever and whenever we gather together.
