I know I shouldn't reveal this, but I am on the admissions committee for

secure and non-googleable web site I will invite you to to start the
process. Hit me off line.

Good luck!


What does it cost ?


It's a bargain at $800.00. The real costs are underwritten by the Trust.
You get a couple of really nice wall hangings, framed sheepskin (real),
hand lettered: a lifetime supply of stationery; and a gold pen set (18
kt). Application fees are $150.00.



And well worth the cost, if your ego requires it. Many years ago I
considered applying for membership. Although I clearly qualified, I could
not see any benefit to me. I get more enjoyment from a Gropper lithograph
that was purchased for $10 and given to me because it reminded my client of
me.

Market pricing.


In 2006 www.mirror.co.uk used the phrase "a crackdown on prostitution",

If - as you claim - you "clearly" qualify for MENSA, then you have
taken MENSA's tests. I can only imagine that being done by someone
whose ego requires stroking.

If - as you claim - you "clearly" qualify you are hiding your
intellectual qualifications under a bushel based on your posts.

Straw man argument. Mensa also accepts certified results not administered by
them.
From th4e website, which you are free to look up'
"Generally, there are two ways to prove that you qualify for Mensa: either
take the Mensa test, or submit a qualifying test score from another test.
There are a large number of intelligence tests that are "approved". More
information on whether a test you have taken is approved, as well as
information on the procedure for taking the Mensa test, can be obtained from
the nearest Mensa office. "


If - as you claim - you "clearly" qualify you are hiding your
intellectual qualifications under a bushel based on your posts.


I fully realize that compared to you, I am an imbecile. IOW, I have no
intention of engaging you in a battle of wits. I do not fight unarmed
people.

I don't know what you did today, but I guess you must be feeling the effects
of the oil slick aproaching your State. And I am willing to let it go at
that.

If you really believe that, then why make things more painful by using
medical terminology to ridicule him in public?

An eight foot pole is more realistic:

You get a couple of really nice wall hangings, framed sheepskin (real),

Why would you take - allegedly - any IQ test? The Stanford Binet test
is administered to people from two to twenty-three for various
reasons. The Wonderlic is a personnel test. Other tests are given to
criminals and people with psychotic disorders. But why anyone would
take a full-blown IQ test for other than ego stroking is beyond me.

If you have the smarts, it shows. If you don't, you claim to be
clearly qualified.

If - as you claim - you "clearly" qualify you are hiding your
intellectual qualifications under a bushel based on your posts.
