Test your IQ with Mensa
Mensa is an international organisation for people who score at, or above, the 98th percentile on a standard IQ test.
THE next test for membership of Mensa, the high IQ society, will be held on Saturday, 26 May, in Westville.
The committee has decided to waive the test fee for this testing session.
The test is optimised for 16 years and older and 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 one tests general reasoning, and the second one tests visio-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.

Mensa is an international organisation for people who score at, or above, the 98th percentile on a standard IQ test; that is, in the top two per cent of the population.
The word Mensa is Latin for table and signifies that it is a round-table organisation, where all members’ values are equal.
There are branches in all four major centres in South Africa, and the local KZN branch is active with about one meeting per month.
The meetings vary between social gatherings and ones of a more mentally stimulating nature.
Should you wish to write the test, it is essential that you book your place, either by email to kzn.testingofficer@mensa.org.za or contact Shaun on 083 974 3500.
