You don't seem to give it much weight, what motivated you to apply, did you just want to see if you could get in? I am not a Mensa member, I'm just curious abou

  Not the OP, but I joined partially for the benefit of my in-laws, to give them something to 'brag on' their new son-in-law. Sort of joking, sort of not - they're british, mensa was from the UK, and it felt like a nice thing to do. I already 'knew' I could get in because I had the appropriate test scores, but actually applying and paying the dues... I went through the process. Went to a few meetings, but generally lame (well, the dinners were). You don't have much in-common with folks. I view the IQ stuff as inherently biological - it's sort of like joining a "tall persons" club, or a group of left-handed people. It's a rare biological condition, but not much you can do about it.

  Mostly. I had never taken an IQ test before and they (the local Mensa chapter) were doing membership testing at the local library. I was a bit hungover when I took the test, but I managed to pass (at least when I took the Mensa membership test, you were not told your resulting IQ 'score', you were only told whether or not you achieved the minimum to qualify for membership).
