What are the benefits of joining MENSA?
It is an
international organization. It is primarily a social group. Some believe it is easier to socialize with folk you have something in common with (WP could be another example of this).
I'm in
America Mensa, where I found my bride. And made some friends--some who drove 700 miles (1,100 km) to attend our wedding and then drove the same distance home afterwards. If you live near an active chapter there are things to go to--eating and talking are the most popular activities but some events might have a theme or speaker or a tour (I went to one party during the
Super Bowl--at the party we watched
Fantasia).
There is a Special Interest Group for Autism.
Despite frequent speculation I've read, in my experience Mensans do
not sit around talking about their IQs--though some new folk join and think that's what they should talk about. What would be the point? All the members are in that top 2%. (I'll guess that more than 2% of the folk on WP would qualify, though.)
P.S. Intelligent people aren't as smart as you might expect.
