ParanoidObsessive 02/12/21 2:54:39 PM #13:	I met the criteria when I was in college and considered applying, but I ultimately passed because I didn't really see any benefit to joining. It doesn't help that I knew at least a couple people in MENSA who were complete idiots, sort of underlining the difference between "book smarts" and "street smarts" even more. Just being able to complete standardized tests and solve puzzles doesn't really translate into being even remotely useful or successful in the real world. One of the most intelligent people I ever knew vis-a-vis IQ was also the sort of person who would forget entire conversations 15 minutes after having them and who used to eat candles in diners. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:950567426] in Any MENSA ...
