It looks good on college applications. But don't join their clubs

Yup, just like BMI. It's useful for things and the doctors are aware it isn't perfect but that's not what the general population thinks.

What's mensa
I went to college with a kid who introduced himself to the class as a Mensa member on day 1. it was a logics class.
halfway through the semester I argued my point logically against him in a debate in front of the class and won. he was embarrassed as fuck and as red as a tomato. he was so pissed that he lost against me because he believed I was inferior to him.
my tactic was to get him emotionally flustered on his stance, which he vehemently believed in, and argue logical arguments regardless of their logical context to his stance.
for example if his stance was "all abortions are wrong." my argument was, "if abortions are wrong and death is wrong then abortions that save life are right because abortions don't kill people. so if abortions don't kill people all abortions are right." cue up a tit for tat back and forth for 15 minutes and I win the debate point for point.
anyway, we didn't see him for the rest of the semester and he dropped out entirely.
I kinda feel bad a bit because it was clear he was on the spectrum and I used that to my advantage but the dude was a dick.
point is Mensa is a dick stroking competition and you're better off avoiding it.

Mensa is "the high IQ society". Take that how you will, membership is mostly used for bragging rights and/or being pretentious.

Get scammed? I pay the yearly couple of euros mainly for access to the discussion groups. Sometimes I scroll and notice the dumbest shit and every single time it's a post from a non-mensa group dirtying up my feed. There really is a noticable difference.
yearly couple of euros
Ok, that's sensible

A reddit mod for a mensa sub sounds like possible the most insufferable combination imaginable
If you happened to have an unusually high IQ, why you would you choose to join Mensa, or be a moderator on Reddit for that matter?
The smartest thing you can do is obfuscate your level of intelligence, not brag about it. That's just how you end up doing more work and getting blamed by everyone around you.

Literally. I've had this happen, and then he proceeded to claim that obesity as a concept was not real.

Claims "high IQ", holds right wing views.
God that prickly sounds insufferable.

To be fair, debate classes often involve arguing for positions you're personally opposed to.

The impression I get is that it was more relevant before the internet. Like, you'd be living in bumfuck Nebraska and take an IQ test in high school to see if you should be a trucker or farmer, and then a couple weeks later you get a letter asking if you wanna be part of a club of smart people who have a magazine and meet every once in a while.
