MENSA

Any one a member of MENSA on here? Looking to do my IQ test with them and wondering if it’s worth the yearly fee.
Cheers.

 

Yes and No.
But it's nice to have a certificate stating 155 on the wall.

 

Imagine the reaction of literally anyone when you tell them you're in mensa. Then, if that doesn't put you off, imagine meeting up with all the people who aren't put off joining mensa by imagining the reaction of literally anyone when they tell them they're in mensa.

No, just no.

 

Worked with a bloke who was a "member".....wouldn't trust him to change a lightbulb.

 

Sounds like me

 

My take is to remember the Groucho Marx quote about joining clubs

 

What’s iq?

 

Joined in the late 80's but haven't been a member for the last 20 years , keep getting the renew membership forms though but at £59.95 its a bit steep. I'm intelligent enough not to pay that!

 

This just about sums it up! £60......thats 3 tanks of fuel for the Fireblade!

 

Intelligence - a few things that it is not:

• Intelligence is not wisdom
• Intelligence argues against the spiritual and the existence of the divine. These things have made up a great deal of what it means to be human, since as far back as human records go. It is a significant part of the human story - dismissed as it has no basis in "intelligence".
• Intelligence is not morality, it does not offer a moral code. All kinds of atrocities and crimes can be argued on the basis or intelligent logic.

Intelligence is a false god, it is not the Holly Grail.

 

And all kinds of atrocities and crimes can be argued on the basis of the spiritual and divine too....

But that's enough god bothery stuff on this fine and sunny Monday morning....

Blessed are the cheesemakers....and you too Mattie
