Mensa International
Mensa was founded in England in 1946 by Roland Berrill, a barrister, and Dr Lance Ware, a scientist and lawyer. Mensans come from all walks of life and all levels of society. However, they share one trait - high intelligence. To qualify for Mensa, one must score in the top 2% of the general population on a standardized intelligence test.

Mensa has three stated purposes: to identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity, to encourage research in the nature, characteristics and uses of intelligence, and to promote stimulating intellectual and social opportunities for its members.

American Mensa
As an organization, American Mensa provides intelligent individuals an opportunity to meet other smart people at the local, regional, and national levels. Mensans interact at entertaining events and exchange ideas through a variety of publications. Mensa members also work to help others in their communities by providing financial assistance and volunteering for community-oriented activities.

how to join
American Mensa has more than 57,000 members as of 2012. Five million Americans are eligible for Mensa membership. To become a member you may take a Mensa-administered exam or you may submit documentation of results from one of approximately 200 different exams.
