My IQ is 130 on the Stanford-Binet scale. Entry for Mensa is an IQ of 132. This is frustrating... will my IQ vary if I take the test multiple times? Or will it increase as I get older? (I'm 15)
Oh ya, in the IQ test, that's my age-adjusted IQ.

I've heard alot about Mensa, and I really wanted to join. My IQ is a real bugger...

I've been to mensa meetings, and the group I was involved with were not self important geeks at all. They were an interesting group. I have heard this said about mensa groups before, so perhaps it varies quite a bit from one place to another.
Mensa administers its own test. It is sometimes surprising who passes it, and also who doesn't. It doesn't map onto the SB scale 100%. I'd encourage you to try their test. If you don't pass, you can always take it again later. If you decide your local group are just "self-important geeks," you can always write them off. Maybe the next town you live in will be different.

Your score on tests can vary somewhat, of course, but IQ does not change as you age. It has to do with a basic level of intelligence. The good news is that I've been to Mensa meetings, and they were full of self-important geeks. Trying to get in may not be worth the effort.

Technically you cannot take the Stanford-Binet test again for another two years.
Why you want to be a member of MENSA, though, is the real question.
