Neither. The position would be filled by the individual who is most competent and best qualified, has the greatest related experience, and appears to have the closest cultural "fit" within the organization.
I've never mentioned my Mensa affiliation in any employment application or interview. I presume that my experience, skills, and intelligence level are sufficiently revealed via my resume and during my interviews.

Not necessarily. I have found that Mensa members, in general, lack some of the social skills necessary to work in certain professions. It would depend on the type of job.
Now I would consider people with IQ's over 139 more attractive. There are highly intelligent people which are not members of Mensa that do have the social skills.
I personally feel that joining Mensa is self serving and selfish. I feel that people who tell others they are members do it to stroke their own ego's. Similar to name dropping. That's why I have never joined.

MENSA isn't all it's cracked up to be. 95% of the people that are admited to University qualify to be members. But why don't they become members? Simple, we don't want to hang out with 30 year old virgins who can argue the finer points of Star Trek capatins and play role playing games forever while living in our mother's basement.

I would say no. I see no correlation between mensa membership and being a good employee. In fact, most mensa members I've met would not make good employees

Personally I would not hire someone who could not spell unless I had no other choice.
Additionally, I do not believe Mensa members normally attack other people.

I wouldn't because they are going to think for themselves too much...not going to be a sheep and that's what I need in my employees...but If I'm hiring a nuclear scientist...I think it would be good

It wouldn't make much difference.
