I don& #39;t belong to Mensa (I don& #39;t need them or their membership), but as repeatedly argued, Mensa& #39;s minimum is ostensibly half an SD above Harvard& #39;s mean.

(You didn& #39;t go to Harvard, bud.)

(Thankfully, I didn& #39;t, either.)

(Mensa is mocked by pretty much everyone, because pretty much everyone, when push comes to shove, doubts that s/he can qualify. [S/he is right; s/he can& #39;t qualify.])

(Nick surely can, so it& #39;s beneath him to mock them given that he hasn& #39;t yet done so [one presumes].)

(I& #39;m not impressed by IQ 130 [though their mean is ostensibly around 140], but this is because I& #39;m demonstrably an SD above this. Nick has never taken a legitimate IQ test, doesn& #39;t know what his IQ is, and assumes, perhaps unwisely, that he, too, is an SD above their minimum.)

Are these standards "high," in my opinion? No, but they& #39;re all at the 98th percentile vs IQ 100 (which by no means reflects modern America, nor does it reflect Nordics [90th percentile, give or take].)

(Remember, most Harvard undergrads can& #39;t score two-sigma [130].)

(Signed, Three-sigma-plus)

(Make sure you know what your IQ is before advertising your "genius.")
