The official Mensa IQ Test is now available! The worldwide organisation for people with an IQ in the top two percent invites you to find out what your indicator IQ is.

What are Mensa's three stated purposes?
-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.

What were Mensa's original aims?
Mensa's original aims were, as they are today, to create a society that is non-political and free from all racial or religious distinctions. "Mensa" means "table" in Latin, and the organisation was so named because Mensa is a round-table society where race, color, creed, national origin, age, politics, educational and social background are all completely irrelevant. 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.
