IQ isn't a big deal, but neither is degree pedigree. He's making up for a deficiency in one signal by providing another, in effect saying "don't think I'm stupid because I didn't attend college."
If you have an elite degree and a technical major, you probably shouldn't include Mensa.
- phaus 14y agoI don't disagree with the author putting it on his resume. I probably would have done the same in his situation (if I were clever enough to think of it).
- 001sky 14y agoThe mensa application is not an IQ based threshold per-se (or at least, not anymore). They basically take any standardized test, and the thresholds are top 5%, not 2%. So mensa just means something like a top 20 school. Seeing the variation of output of even the better half of those schools, it sort of lowers bar for the "Brand Mensa". The 150ish IQ threshold (public imagination) would be a bit more strict in many regards. http://www.us.mensa.org/AML/?LinkServID=005EB3F7-B83A-44BA-B4FFD5114A1AC31D http://www.us.mensa.org/AML/?LinkServID=005EB3F7-B83A-44BA-B...
