The Mensa organization


Mensa is an international organization of people who enjoy using their minds. Mensans meet to talk, learn new things, and share their common (and often uncommon) experiences. Local groups meet during regular monthly meetings and as part of special interest groups. There are also regional, national, and international gatherings.

The officially stated purposes of Mensa are:
1) to identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity;
2) to encourage research in the nature, characteristics, and uses of intelligence;
3) to provide a stimulating intellctual and social environment for its members.

The only qualification for becoming a part of Mensa is that you score in the top 2% on a standard IQ test.

We also have two SIGs, or special interest groups, that also meet once a month. These offer an opporunity to engage others with similar interests on a regular basis. Our SIGs topics are:
