Line 36:
If [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|TV Tropes is ruining your life]] it's probably a given that your intelligence is at the very least in the upper 50%. That's a wide swath of humanity, and no guarantee of the top 2%, [[Figure It Out Yourself|but only you can know how intelligent you are]]. Only one person out of every fifty qualifies, but 1 in 50 would be pretty good odds to a gambler. The odds of winning a state lottery are 120 million to 1, yet people (Even Mensans!) will blow money every day on it.
 
Mensa has its own test you can take. It will not tell you what your specific IQ is, simply if you qualify for Mensa or not. You must be over 14 years old to take Mensa's own test, but other IQ tests exist for any age. (For more about [[Useful Notes/IQ Testing|IQ Testing]] in general, see that page.) Many local groups will have a test during their RG - sometimes taking the test includes admission to the RG the full day of the test.
 
The best place to go for information, of course, [http://www.mensa.org/national-groups is the International Mensa Website's listing of each country's Mensa websites]. Visit the site for your home country and they will have information on how to see if you qualify, and how to contact your local group.
