Genuinely intelligent people see MENSA for the sham that it is. No person who can use their intelligence in real world situations would consider becoming a member of MENSA. Being a MENSA member means "I can do puzzles but I am unable to apply intelligence to practical situations". Be wary of people who feel the need to have their intelligence validated. I remember I was impressed with being a member of MENSA until about the age of 15 when maturity started to kick in. I would suggest that anyone impressed by MENSA membership should find out the celebs who claim membership. Famous members in the UK include Garry Bushell, Jimmy Saville and Kathy Lloyd. Norris McWhirter is also a member - this is a man who has spent his life memorizing The Guinness Book of Records parrot fashion - probably the stupidest waste of a brain possible.
