Want to join?

We try to have a testing session every 6-8 weeks, though this is by no means guaranteed. We charge $40 per person to take the tests and this must be paid in advance.

These are the upcoming scheduled testing sessions:

TEST PURPOSE, SCORING AND RELEASE OF TEST SCORES

The American Mensa Admission Tests are given for the purpose of admission into Mensa and not to quantify intelligence. A score at the 98^th percentile on either of the two tests qualifies an applicant for Mensa membership. A qualifying score indicates that the applicant tests at, or better than 98 percent of the general population. American Mensa will release membership qualification only. No further information on test scores will be released.

RESPONSE TIME

In general, response from the National Office occurs within two to three weeks of receipt of your testing information. Please allow for up-to four weeks from your testing date.

RE-TESTING

You are allowed to take the Mensa Admission Tests only once. If you do not qualify on the Mensa Admission Test or if English is not your native language or for any other reason you may take our Culture Free battery once - a session for this test may be scheduled by request.

ALTERNATIVE QUALIFICATIONS FOR MENSA MEMBERSHIP

American Mensa accepts the scores of approximately 200 tests for those individuals who do not qualify for Mensa membership via the Mensa Admissions Tests. These alternative tests include, but are not limited to the SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT, Stanford Binet and various Weschler scales.
For more information about accepted tested and how to submit these scores, please visit our National Web Site. Information on acceptable tests and guidelines for submitting them as prior evidence can be found there.
