Mensa is for those who are insecure about their intelligence and like the idea that they can easily rank themselves above others with a number designed to check if you're mentally handicapped. I'm not surprised they can't communicate.
- analog31 6y agoI always thought to myself, what if I take the test and pass it? Then what? If I fail, that's easy. I lick my wounds and go home. But if I pass? The shape of the distribution -- basically slicing off one end of a bell curve -- means that in all likelihood, I would be at the lower end of the IQ scale within the group, even if at the upper end within the overall population. So I'd be taking a test and paying money for the privilege of being the dumbest person in the room. It hardly seemed attractive to me.
