My test scores meant I was qualified for Mensa too, I could've taken up the membership when offered as a kid but declined at the time.
Eventually I took the quick test which suggested I should take the longer test as a young adult looking to bolster my CV (résumé). Narrowly missed out and before I was able to submit again I had enough on there not to give it much thought again for me. An IQ test was part of the qualification process for the first job I took out of university, something I've not seen since.
I think my eldest son's probably at least as bright as I am, so this sort of thing has been on my mind again. We try and give him a breadth of experience - he does a lot of rugby (completely non-contact at his age), running and other sports, some child adventure centres, music lessons, scouts soon, etc. But I don't see too much wrong with adding Mensa as a small part in the context of a larger picture.
