2%. Yeah, that's 150 million people. That isn't special.

there are other far more exclusive "proven IQ" groups.
All tend to collect enough autistic under-employed that they cause too many new high IQ members to flee
The good thing about mensa is that its at least a threshold people can use, even if its a little too open a club (so that some women can join)
Real IQ or those fake pattern recognition tests? The Mensa tests are almost entirely based on recognizing geometric patterns, which is a small component of IQ. Last time I looked there were no tests of logic, memory, knowledge, or abstract pattern recognition. They are purposefully weeding out intelligent people whose primary intelligence isn't solving meaningless puzzles.
You obviously don't understand what IQ is. Puzzle solving ability IS IQ. It was never supposed to encapsulate every function of the brain to give a "you're this smart" number.
It gained prominence because, of all the different tests that claimed to measure intelligence, it was uniquely able to make accurate predictions of success and was repeatable and stable. IQ proved itself through testing to be the most important measurable factor of intelligence.
You obviously think IQ is just a fancy word substitute for smart and smart is something everyone can define in thier own way to suit thier ego.
