Features: What is MENSA: MENSA is the name of the world's top IQ club, founded in Oxford, UK in 1946 by lawyer Belle and scientist Welch. They intended to establish a society for the intelligent, where members' high IQs would be recognized, affirmed, and continuously improved through challenging club activities, and where they could share their successes. The Influence of MENSA: Over half a century of development has made MENSA the world's best, largest, and most successful IQ club. As a super club, it has over 100,000 members worldwide, spanning 100 countries. Except for Antarctica, branches of MENSA are established in more than 40 countries across all continents. Besides high IQ, MENSA members can be said to have no other common characteristics. The only way to join MENSA is to take the exam and stand out—out of every 100 people who pass the MENSA exam, two of the top performers will be admitted as full members. MENSA Intelligence Test: In addition to providing a stimulating intellectual exchange forum for its members, MENSA also publishes the most challenging intellectual questions contributed by its members, allowing non-members to share in the fun. Thanks to MENSA's status in the field of IQ testing, the "MENSA Series Books" are not only bestsellers in Europe and America but are also listed as important reference standards for talent selection by numerous government agencies and multinational companies worldwide.
