Mensa - Lets Get It Straight......
111 Answers
On this thread people who would never get into Mensa seem to claim they could but didn't because it has annual subs:
https:/
Mensa is a club the subs are not just for "bragging rights" you can be as involved as little or as much as you want. We have SIGs gatherings, Mensans are like masons we can look each other up in foreign countries, different towns. Often get free accommodation. There are social events every month all over the world, there are 50+ in my region alone in January. Many of you are in other clubs that pay subs you may have similar benefits or just are happy with what your club does. I get tired of people who could not get in if they tried, posting bile about what is basically just another club. PS the monthly magazine alone is worth the subs.

Lots of people do those little mensa tests in papers & mag. (or online)
Then send off for the free 'mensa test' ...one you have to do at home unsupervised - but must promise you won't cheat! - (nowadays 'timed' online)
This test invariably tells them they're in the top something percent of the country! Wowee!
... to entice them to pay & take the proper test.
They are a business after all & need to make money.
This is where many stop, they don't want to pay.
The test they did was basically an easy unsupervised test being sent to people as a marketing ploy.
That was enough for many people to believe they were geniuses - so there's lots of people who are really quite dim believing they're in the top 1% of the population, because they believe they've taken an official mensa test.

Local mensans met in a pub I used to go to.... Don't think a single one of the men could have pulled a muscle, let alone a woman, you could overhear them with their ideas of how to sort out a or y, or the amazing puzzles they had solved, or quiz they were entering. Pub had regular quizzes, They lost.
