What We Do‎ > ‎

Testing Sessions


   Qualify for Mensa membership by taking the Mensa Admission Test.  The Mensa Admission Test includes two tests featuring questions involving logic and deductive reasoning.  If you score at or above the 98th percentile on either of the two tests, you'll qualify and be invited to join Mensa!  Mensa membership offers people of all ages and professions the opportunity to connect for networking, intellectual pursuit and fun!  Our 56,000 members share in wide variety of activities locally, nationally and online.  For more information, visit www.us.mensa.org or call 1-800-66-MENSA.
  • Admission tests are open to anyone age 14 and older
  • Parental permission is required for ages 14-17
  • Test cost is $40 and reservations are required
