The only criterion for membership is a score at or above the 99th percentile level on a qualifying and valid supervised test of intelligence. For questions about membership contact the Office.
ACT (until 1989) 99th percentile | Mensa Admission Test raw score 97 or 99th percentile * NOTE: No self-administered tests will be accepted. |
*While American Mensa has suspended sending scores to members, they have a release form that members can fill out and return to them, and the scores will be released directly to the Intertel office. That form can be obtained from the American Mensa website https://www.us.mensa.org/my-mensa/test-score-release/ or the Intertel office. Raw test scores can be correlated to percentile by the Intertel office. Mensans who incur a fee to obtain their test scores will receive a discount on their first year's dues if they use those scores to join Intertel.
NOTE: European versions of tests that Intertel accepts can have different scores/percentiles than the American versions. The scores listed on our website only apply to the American versions. The percentile is the important criterion. Intertel will accept Mensa percentile reports as qualifying evidence.
