Mensa Qualifying Session

From http://aisrael.multiply.com/calendar/item/53 :

Start May 7, '05 9:00a
End May 7, '05 3:00p
Location Private Room, Oakwood Premier

Mensa Philippines is an emerging national Mensa under the auspices of Mensa International Ltd. The society has over 100,000 members in over 80 countries worldwide. R. Buckminster Fuller, actress / archer Geena Davis, comedian John Cleese (Monty Python), Scott Adams (Dilbert), Matt Groening (Simpsons), Jean Auel (Clan of the Cave Bear) and science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov are some of the more prominent Mensa members.

While we don't have tests that you can take at home, there are many practice tests available on the Internet. You will find tests, puzzles and other Mensa resources at:

The sole criterion for membership in Mensa, is to score within the top 2 percent (98th percentile and up) on an accepted and properly supervised qualifying test.

Mensa will be holding just such a qualifying session on SATURDAY, 07 MAY 2005 at the Private Room, OAKWOOD Premier, Glorietta 4, Ayala Center, Makati.

The qualifier is a culture-fair test of the type that is often referred to as "abstract reasoning". It does NOT test for math or language skills. While there is no strict time-limit, most people will finish in an hour or two. You may register and START your test anytime between 9:00 A.M. and 3 P.M.

YOU will ONLY need to BRING a valid ID (with photo) and the testing fee of P400 (or the discounted P150 rate for UNDER-GRAD students). We would also appreciate it if you could verify your postal address and zipcode.

Pre-registration requires NO pre-payment. Payments will only be received at the testing venue itself. Providing us with your name and contact info beforehand simply allows us to be better prepared to accommodate you. Pre-registrants may choose their time slot and will have preference over walk-in test-takers.

The identities of the those who take the test as well as any results are strictly confidential. The results will be mailed to you within a month or so. If you don't quite make the cut this time around (we all have off days), you may re-take the qualifying test after 6 months.
