How high does your IQ need 2 b 4 MENSA ?

Question

What is the bottom line for MENSA IQ standards?

Answer 1

You need to score in the top 2% of the population to get into Mensa.

So an IQ of about 131 (SD 15) will quality you. The easiest way to get in is probably just write mensas entrance test.

To see if you're mensa quality, http://nicologic.free.fr/Intrus.htm is a test that was normed on mensans, so if you can score in the 130's + on this test you should be able to quality for mensa.

The practice questions on mensas website tend not to be like the real questions.

The actual mensa test will be easier than this, btw (easier than the domino IQ test as well, since the domino test can measure up to 170 and the mensa test peaks at about 150).

Answer 2

You should be able to get the information you need at the link below.

As I recall, there are several ways to get into Mensa -- including IQ test scores and GRE scores. The bottom line is that the scores differ by test -- but they accept the top two percent (an IQ of about 140 should do it).
