    Isn’t the requirement 130? That’s decently high, no?

    Definitely agree that you’re selecting for people who want to show off and take a bit too much pride in their IQ score though if you’re focusing only on MENSA members.

      Yeah 130, which is 2 percentile I believe. Smartest one out of 50 people. That is not smart enough to be special, but just enough to be insufferable.
