THE next test for membership of Mensa, the high IQ society, will be on Saturday, 6 April, in Westville.
The cost is R130 and R100 for students, and candidates may leave with their results. The test is optimised for 16 years and older, it is not suitable for younger people. The test is in multiple-choice format and consists of two sections. A candidate may join Mensa by passing either section.
The first section tests general reasoning, and the second one tests visual-spatial abilities. The test is conducted by a registered psychologist and takes about two hours. Results are confidential, and simply comprise notification of whether the candidate passed Mensa’s criteria for membership or not – you do not get an IQ score.
Every person who sits for the test on 6 April will be entered into a lucky draw for a pair of tickets to ICON Durban 2019. ICON is South Africa’s largest annual comic and games convention. The Durban event will take place from 5 to 7 July at the Old Mutual Sports Hall at UKZN.
Should you wish to write the test, it is essential that you book your place, either by email with your full details to kzn.testingofficer@mensa.org.za or by contacting Shaun on 083 974 3500.
