Mensa is best described as a social club. To join one has first to sit a supervised intelligence test and obtain an IQ score of 148 or over on the Cattell scale, which will put the applicant in the top 2 per cent of the population. Mensa currently has 38,000 members in the UK and almost 100,000 throughout the world.
Mensa is the Latin word for table, and the word implies a round table society in which every member is of equal standing.
