Mensa International

Organization founded in the UK in 1946 with membership limited to those passing an ‘intelligence’ test. It has been criticized by many who believe that intelligence is not satisfactorily measured by IQ (intelligence quotient) tests alone. In recent years, Mensa has started to fund special schools and activities for high-IQ children in the UK.

The organization was founded by barristers Lancelot Ware (1915–2000) and Roland Berrill (1896–1961). The only qualification for membership is scoring in at least the 98th percentile on an accepted IQ test.
