Whom here in Mensa? Do you think it's strange that there have not been much significant literary achievement by Mensa members? Is it a wank? I just qualified to join and I was wondering if any /lit/izens think it's worth it.

I'm not a genius like some people here, but I am a manipulative bastard (without the "bastard" part) and could pass every class with an 8,5 if I really tried. Of course I have the most important Physics test tomorrow (I HATE Physics, Maths, etc.) and I'm here writing about how goddamn lazy I am!
I'm in Mensa. Basically unless you want to go to meetups it's not worth joining. I hear the Halloween one is really good though. They send you a newsletter booklet every so often.
Just go on Meetup and join a board game group. 99% of the experience of being in Mensa without having to pay dues, and people there are probably more down to earth.

I think I'll join. The dues aren't too bad. Are you from a city or a small town? There seem to be better meet up oppourtunities but I'm going to start commuting to uni soon and was thinking of joining the contingent nearer to my uni.
Not worth it, and the test they use gives a bump to IQ over other tests (so more people qualify)

is pretty much right. You don't want to hang out with people who needed a piece of paper to feel secure about how much smarter they are than everyone else.
