Anyone and EVERYONE! We are always looking for new members and they come in all shapes and sizes. You'll never know if you qualify unless you TRY!
Please note that I am a member of Mensa trying to inform non-members of the organization. If you ask a question through this myspace page, you will get my personal experiences and/or opinions as a response. I do not speak for Mensa as a group as I feel that would be extremely arrogant and is completely unnecessary. You have to go to the American Mensa website for information on joining Mensa. You can't become a member by being on the friends list and there are people included in the friends list who aren't members of Mensa.
Also I cannot tell you if you, your boyfriend/girlfriend, kid, or whoever would be qualified to join Mensa. The only thing I can tell you is that if you think you might qualify, you should look into joining and follow the link above. If you are worried that you might not qualify, don't announce to the world that you are taking the admission test. If you don't create an expectation from others, you only have to worry about disappointing yourself which is a lot easier than disappointing the world.
And here's another doozy that I've come across often - being too smart to join Mensa. The thought is completely illogical! Mensa admits people who score in the top 2% of the general population on an accepted standardized intelligence test. This includes the smartest people in the world. If you think you are too smart for Mensa, regather you logical capabilites and have a little humility with your breakfast. And please read that with the utmost humor :)
