| What Mensa
Offers |
| Mensa
has no opinions and endorses none of those held by its
members. Its purpose is to identify and foster human
intelligence, to encourage research in the nature,
characteristics and uses of intelligence, and to provide
a stimulating intellectual and social environment for
its members. Mensa provides a forum for intellectual exchange
among members. Its activities includes the exchange of
ideas by lectures, discussions, journals, special
interest groups, and local, regional, national, and
international gatherings; the investigations of members’
opinions and attitudes; and assistance to researchers
inside and outside of Mensa.
Although Mensa holds no opinions, its members have
many. The greatest thing Mensa has to offer is a meeting
ground for its members to exchange, evaluate and
discuss thoughts, ideas, opinions and theories - theirs
and anyone else’s.

| Special Interest
Groups |
If there is anything you are interested in, chances are Mensa has a SIG for it. From Aabsurd SIG, to Hell’s M’s SIG, to Scuba SIG and all the way to Zydecodependents SIG, there are
over 140 SIGs now in existence within Mensa.
If it’s not there, it can be formed. Check out the SIG listings
included in American Mensa’s website for more on this.

| Mensa Education and Research Foundation (MERF) |
MERF
could be considered the more serious side of Mensa. It is through this arm of Mensa that
scholarships are awarded, a research journal published, and grants given out to educational research projects.
|
| Local Groups |
American Mensa is divided into
134 local
groups. Groups vary in size from about 1600 members to as few as 20. Groups are determined mostly by geographic location and sustained by the willingness of volunteers on the local level.
Our group has approximately 250 members.
