Mensa is an elitist geek organisation that uses pitifully low-ceiling "intelligence" tests as evidence that they have something to feel good about. The organization exists purely for the ironic lulz of bilking people of their money to "confirm" their huge intellects. Flattery is pretty much the oldest and most blatant con on the planet, as well as the most effective: IQ testing administered by Mensa runs from $18 to $40 in the US, and you can take the test twice. Once you're a winnar, you pay just $52 annually! A steal at twice the price!

Membership dues are PLZ 60 in Poland. At least they ask nicely there.

Like Asperger's Syndrome, it's not uncommon for people to self-diagnose Mensa-level IQ-skillz by doing stupid online quizzes. Some people may even claim to be members, but real people that have made the mistake of joining will invariably tell you that they dropped out after they discovered what losers Mensans are. Most people just take the test for the lulz.

Note that the proportion of the population that qualifies to join Mensa is exactly the same as the proportion that has BPD, which may explain why they maintain a directory of psychologists on their US website.

If you are in Mensa, you have to wear a t-shirt that says "I'm with stupid -->" at all times.
