“Ive known this for years. MENSA membership is obtained with an IQ of 140 or so, but a actual MENSA meeting is a robust gathering of underachievers. “
Gosh do I ever agree.
I dated a very nice lady in SE Kansas. She was a member of MENSA. She was an editor of a tiny paper in Pittsburg Kansas and happy with her position. She convinced me to go to a meeting at Pizza Hut with her peers. They were just run of the mill folks but were very impressed with their MENSA status. They weren’t impressed with the fact that I had two masters degrees in the hard sciences, several patents and well published. I wasn’t MENSA, I somehow had cheated. Their entry pamphlet was silly ass puzzles. I referred them to “Fermats Enigma” and how it got solved by Simon Singh. They looked at me like I was speaking left handed Swahilli. I am just a pretty average guy for an engineer but I could follow Singhs’ proof. In fairness it is easy when you have the answer. What worked for me was a good engineering base and lots of practice and ambition.
Just my thoughts
