Join the 2%

In order to join Mensa, you have to take a Mensa-approved intelligence test that has been properly administered and supervised. And on that test you need to attain a score that places you within the upper 2% of the general population. Contact your local Mensa organisation to find out where and when you can take a test. If you happen to be resident in a country that doesn’t yet have a recognised Mensa group, please contact Mensa International for further information.

Mensa has members in more than 90 countries. Wherever you live, the three stated purposes of Mensa are always the same:

Key Initiatives

National Mensa Gifted Youth Programmes

Mensa Gifted Youth programmes and activities vary from country to country, but their overall aim is to provide occasions for gifted children and young people to get together, make friends, learn new things and challenge themselves, all the while being supported by instructors and counsellors who have been trained in the field of gifted education.

The Mensa

Foundation

One of the many ways in which Mensa benefits society is through the Mensa Foundation, which aims to inspire and empower intellectual giftedness around the world.
