What does “MENSA” mean?
“Mensa” means “table” in Latin, and the organisation was so named because Mensa is a round-table society where ethnicity, colour, creed, national origin, age, politics, educational and social background are all completely irrelevant. In fact, the only relevant qualification for membership is scoring within the upper 2% of the general population on an approved intelligence test.
Mensa takes no stand on politics, religion or social issues, and it has members from so many different countries and cultures, each with differing points of view; so, for Mensa to espouse a particular point of view would go against its role as a forum for ALL points of view.
Mensa in 2024
The worldwide membership of Mensa currently stands at around 150,000. There are established Mensa organisations in almost 50 countries, with membership totals ranging from a few hundred to nearly 50,000 in the case of American Mensa. There are active Mensa organisations on every continent except Antarctica.
Direct International Members
Although most members of Mensa belong to a national Mensa group, some people reside in a country where there is not yet a formally recognised Mensa group.
These individuals are known as Direct International Members.
As with national Mensa organisations, there are Direct International Members in almost 50 countries worldwide. The number of people in each Direct International Member country varies from 1 to 100+.
If you want to become a Mensa member but can’t find your country here, please contact us to find out where and when you can get Mensa tested.
As soon as you’ve passed a Mensa-approved examination and provided us with proof of your test score, we’ll set you up with a Direct International Membership account, and we’ll explain how you can access and benefit from the various services that Mensa International has to offer.
MENSA INTERNATIONAL
The three stated purposes of Mensa are always the same
no matter where in the world your national Mensa organisation happens to be:
- To identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity
- To encourage research into the nature, characteristics, and uses of intelligence
- To provide a stimulating intellectual and social environment for its members
The Mensa Constitution
The three main purposes listed above are stated on the first page of the Constitution of Mensa, which also sets out the organisation’s infrastructure.
The Mensa Constitution is the overarching document that governs all national Mensa groups, each of which also operates according to its own national Mensa constitution or bylaws.
Whenever a proposal is made to amend the Mensa Constitution, the worldwide membership is asked to vote for or against the change(s) via a referendum. The Mensa Constitution was last amended in 2023.
