Mensa is an international society made up of persons who score at or above the 98th percentile on any one of a number of standardized intelligence tests. Mensa is dedicated to identifying and fostering human intelligence for the benefit of humanity, to encouraging research into the nature, characteristics and uses of intelligence, and to providing a stimulating intellectual and social environment for its members. Mensa provides individuals with opportunities to meet other intelligent persons at the local, regional and national levels. Mensa has over 100,000 members worldwide and chapters in more than 40 different countries.
Membership in Piedmont Area Mensa (PAM) is open to any Mensa member living in the geographic area served by PAM or to any member living in another Local Group area and who chooses to move his or her membership to PAM by preference.
In the U.S. alone, more than six million people qualify for membership - that's really about one person in every 50. Most don't realize that they
qualify and haven't considered membership. (You've at least considered membership or you wouldn't be reading this now.) You can become a member
of American Mensa in one of two ways:
If you are age 14 or older, you can take a supervised standardized test administered by one of our certified
member volunteers.
Anyone, regardless of age, can submit evidence of prior testing in the form of scores from a supervised
standardized test, such as the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, the Miller Analogies Test, the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Army
or Navy General Classification Test (GCT). (American Mensa currently accepts more than 200 tests as prior evidence. To see a partial list of acceptable
test scores, please visit http://www.us.mensa.org/testscores.)
