    the punchline is that if you pay for the iq test you are instantly considered stupid and if you bribe the iq test you get a high score. everyone in between won’t pay for an iq test

        tbf, i paid for an IQ test because i needed the results to prove i’m capable of understanding my own gender in court. Pretty whack but i heard recently the laws in my country changed so i hope younger trans people won’t have to go through that humiliation

        I think the same thing applies to Mensa. If you’re paying to join the “smart people club”, how smart are you really?

          My local Mensa hosts a lot of fun events, the cost is minimal, and it replaces a social vacuum left by religious activities for me. A wide variety of people, most very nice, almost all pretty interesting. Also a pretty insular group of folks that doesn’t really ruffle any feathers, so I’ve always been a little unsure why Mensa gets such hate online.
