I qualified for Mensa membership today. I know we have a few other people on this board who are members (or at least, qualify to be.) I'm well aware of the criticisms of IQ testing in general and Mensa as an organization more specifically, but I really do no socializing in the real world outside of my immediate family and work right now so I'm hoping participating in my local chapter will help me meet some new and interesting people.
Have fun. It's a near-lock you'll meet interesting people. And don't apologize to yourself or anyone else. It's worth neither the time nor the effort.
Congratulations! I think it's pretty awesome. I had another friend who was a member. Very intelligent person although he did not always use is brains the way I would have expected.
