I quickly rushed an IQ test and got a score of 120. This is above average but I know I can do better if I took my time. I was watching a program on TV about MENSA and I was wondering what IQ you need to get into Mensa.
I know tht you need to be in the top 2% of the population.

For example, the minimum accepted score on the Stanford-Binet is 132, while for the Cattell it is 148.

Membership in Mensa is open to persons who have attained a score within the upper two percent of the general population on an approved intelligence test that has been properly administered and supervised. There is no other qualification or disqualification for membership eligibility.
The term "IQ score" is widely used but poorly defined. There are a large number of tests with different scales. The result on one test of 132 can be the same as a score 148 on another test. Some intelligence tests don't use IQ scores at all. Mensa has set a percentile as cutoff to avoid this confusion. Candidates for membership in Mensa must achieve a score at or above the 98th percentile (a score that is greater than or equal to 98 percent of the general population taking the test) on a standard test of intelligence.
Generally, there are two ways to prove that you qualify for Mensa: either take the Mensa test, or submit a qualifying test score from another test. There are a large number of intelligence tests that are "approved". More information on whether a test you have taken is approved, as well as information on the procedure for taking the Mensa test, can be obtained from the nearest Mensa office. There are no on-line tests that can be used for admission to Mensa. Feel free to contact Mensa for specific details about eligibility.
Mensa has no other eligibility requirements other than IQ testing. However, many tests are not valid for people under the age of 16. You should contact the nearest Mensa office for more information.

Mensa is a 'kudos' organisation which offers little in reality, but charges a lot to become, and remain, a member. It has it's own tests, which are fun to take, but wont advance your salary or position in industry or society. This just so long as you are clear as to what Mensa is or can do for you. The society's official objectives are: to provide a stimulating intellectual and social environment for its members to identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity to encourage research into the nature, characteristics, and uses of intelligence The society welcomes people whose IQ is in the top two per cent of the population, with the objective of enjoying each other's company and participating in a wide range of social and cultural activities. Mensa members come from all walks of life and almost every job and profession. Every age group is represented from pre-school children to members in their eighties, nineties and beyond!

You need a high IQ to stay out of MENSA.

If you can't figure it out, then you don't belong. Also- IQ test are based on answers and time, so if you rushed and got 60% right, it would be equivalent to taking your time and getting 90% right. (approximation) Your IQ would not likely change that much.
