One out of every 50 people qualifies for Mensa!
You could be the one!
Mensa has more than 50,000 members in the United States and more than 100,000 members
worldwide. Members of American Mensa range in age from 4 to 100 and come from all segments
of society.
Members join for different reasons. Some like the social aspect of the organization, which
includes everything from local game nights to the Annual Gathering. Others enjoy intellectual
events such as speaker meetings, Colloquiums or CultureQuest®.
Whether in person or online, Mensa offers intellectually gifted people a place to share
their ideas. More than 150 Special Interest Groups allow members to pursue their interests —
from astronomy to quilting —with other Mensans.
Many members enjoy the opportunity to serve their communities through our service programs.
Mensan volunteers also work with the Mensa Education & Research Foundation to award scholarships
to more than 150 college students each year.
Members have access to special member benefits that include discounts on travel and financial
products and American Mensa's magazine, the Mensa Bulletin.
Each new member of Mensa adds something new and special to the organization. We invite you
to pursue membership today.
How can I join?
Our next testing has been set for May 17, 2:00 - 4:00 PM at the Unitarian Universalist Church
of Tallahassee, 2810 N. Meridian Road. Call 385-5115 during business hours for directions.
Do you know anybody who's Mensa material, but who hasn't joined yet? They can, of course, get in based
on prior evidence, but it can be time-consuming and difficult to find that evidence. Testing is a viable
alternative, and those who take the test generally self-select, meaning that around 70% of those who take
it end up qualifying for membership! We hit a roadblock for our usual April testing, so we moved the date
and location -- and what a great location! UUCT has been so generous and professional. We are totally
delighted with the new space, and know others will be too. Contact Debi, Joe, or Carolyn on the ExComm
for more information.. The cost is $40, cash, check, or money order.
If you have prior evidence that you qualify for membership, all you need to do is submit
your test scores from prior intelligence testing. Many people find this a quick and easy way to
qualify for Mensa membership, as they often qualify on tests they have already taken at some
point in their lives.
Results from tests given by an institution, agency or clinic must include the full name of
the test, the score and the percentile rank. This documentation must be on the letterhead of
the institution, agency or clinic; it also must be signed by the psychologist responsible for
the testing and must include the psychologist's license/certification number as issued by the
state in which the psychologist practices.
Evidence from a school transcript must be a school document with a seal, and an armed forces
record must be a notarized copy.
All evidence of prior testing will be appraised individually, and Mensa reserves the right
to make the final determination of the acceptability of the test. The nonrefundable, one-time
evaluation fee is $40 (U.S.).
