I was surprised to see they'll take past ACT or SAT scores for admission. Now, there's the send eighteen bucks to have them send you a test to try to become a member? I guess that's not too bad to have a go at trying to be a member.
Okay, I had to add this in from the site:
"We have more than 50,000 members in the United States and more than 100,000 members worldwide. Members of American Mensa range in age from 4 to 100 and come from all segments of society."
Four? FOUR?? Who is testing their kid at age four?!

Most kids are tested when they start school - we learned about it my "exceptional learners" class this summer. I'd be willing to bet that the kids who get tested at age 4 are probably the same kids whose parents start them in educational programs to learn to read by the age of 2 and think they're behind if the kid can't read him/herself the newspaper by about age 3...
