    Is anybody here a member of Mensa?

    i wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member. i passed the entrance test, but i wasn't really interested in doing anything the club does, so i never signed-up.

    Ditto. I don't think they do anything much that would appeal to a 14 year old, even me when I was 14.:laugh:

    Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

                      I don't think they necessarily indicate intelligence. I've worked with people which are in MENSA, and let me tell you, the ability to decipher symbols on a piece of paper, really doesn't say much about the intelligence. The MENSA tests are quite easy IMO. I've taken such tests, and that sort of proves my point. MENSA is a club for people who like to pat themselves on their back. The truly intelligent ones do something worthwhile, like working towards a Nobel prize or something along those lines. Nah, let people like Red and others with similar attitudes have their back patting club. :)

                          Is anybody here a member of Mensa? Does being a member of Mensa help you pick up chicks? I'm thinking of taking the entrance test...to help me pick up chicks.

                          If typing 100wpm doesn't pick up chicks then neither will Mensa.

                              Of course it does, haven't you seen in every bar the woman walk up to the guys with the pocket protector and say, "are you a member of Mensa." To which when the response is "yes" she faints into your arms and you have to carry her up to her room. Happens all the time. :rolleyes:
