Hence why'd I join.

I met someone who was a member of Mensa. What a fucking douchebag.
Yeah, the only reason TO join is to get into a college. Good ideas. After that Just leave. Hehe (but you have to pay like 60 bucks a year and a fee for the home test.. Not sure how much )

GATE was better. Although that was because GATE gave me cool classes, like my robotics class.

you don't?

[QUOTE=lmaoboat;17701987]I'm asking the questions here![/QUOTE] You didn't ask a question.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;17702047]You didn't ask a question.[/QUOTE] But seriously, it's probably just a combination of growing up in a wealthy school district, on a coastal state, and other factors.

Genius or not the joke isn't funny. Mensa is just a way for people who think higher of themselves because of their intelligence.

[QUOTE=Latias;17697442]I don't get the first joke [editline]fuck[/editline] I knew that a newt's not a lizard, but what does that have to do with the joke?

Mensa is a gigantic circlejerk but it's BS like that that looks good to a potential employer.

OHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh. THOSE guys.
Isaac Asimov(the fucking head of Mensa for a time) said they were a bunch of pretentious dicks. I agree.
An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a beer. The second orders half a beer. The third, a quarter of a beer. The bartender says "You're all idiots", and pours two beers.
op is angry he can't join
I took the test on their site and they say my intelligence is in the top 10%. You see, facepunchers can be smart. Atleast I am.

The bartender says "You're all idiots", and pours two beers.[/QUOTE] I get it, the bartender rounded off to two beers because the next mathematician would ask for half of what the last one ordered, and since there are an infinite number of mathematicians, it would go on forever if he didn't. Am I the smarts now?
I got the first one. It wasn't funny. At all.
Problem with that joke is that if someone said it out loud far more people would be likely to get it than it being written on the page
The top 10% or whatever it is really quite alot of people- nearly everyone I know who has taken an IQ test qualifies for mensa, and I don't think I live anywhere abnormal. IQ tests in my opinion are really only a measure of how good you are at puzzles, real intelligence is a more complicated thing, it requires work, education and the ability to actually apply knowledge. Whilst cognitive abilities do provide an important basis for all these things, they are only really one factor. Also, why does the thread title include "colleges and universities", it makes it sound like you find university students elitist in some way.
