I’ve no idea if I would qualify, since I can’t recall ever taking an IQ test. Would the LSAT be an acceptable test?
Oh, and for the other half of the OP - one B.A., three law degrees.
Two degrees - a BS in biology and an MD.
I was a member of MENSA waaay back when (I joined when I was 16). I scored in with my SATs, as I recall. Compared to my high school crowd, the Mensans were a breath of fresh air - in general, they were clever, witty people.
Oh, by the way, we had our meetings at the Coors hospitality suite 
.
I had the same issue transitioning to college (and then to medical school) as some others here. College was full of bright people; med school more so. I rarely feel particularly “gifted” with my so-called intellect - in fact, there are times I wish I could lose a few points (thinking about things too much isn’t always a good thing :smack: ).
I’ve never taken an IQ test that I remember. Nor have I ever taken an SAT or GRE. And I’ll admit that I haven’t had my IQ tested because I don’t especially want to know my score. I have always had a reputation for being ‘smart’ but I suspect I’m not really as smart as people think I am. I think that I seem smarter than I am because I read a lot, about a lot of different things, and I remember most of what I read. I’m sure that I’m not nearly as smart as I seem. I strongly suspect that, if I attempted to test for Mensa, I wouldn’t qualify.
Oh, and I’m not a college graduate. I have about 8 years of part-time college course under my belt, but at this stage I doubt I’ll ever complete a degree.
I’ve got a coupla advanced degrees. I might qualify for MENSA, but I’ve never tried.
A friend of mine who did once told me the reason he never joined – he said he saw a cartoon in some Mensa journal or newsletter that showed a scene in Hell, with bubbling brimstone and a Lake of Fire with suffering souls submerged in it, with pitchfork-wielding demons around the periphery keeping them in. In the middle of the Lake is a tiny island, labeled “2 out of every hundred”.
“If that was the way they thought of themselves,” he said, “I have no interest in joining.”
I never saw this cartoon myself.
I probably qualify for MENSA, but I never tried. I did get accepted ino the Triple-Nine Society, which is apparently for people in the 99.9th percentile in IQ. I got to take a look at their message board, and realized that we had a lot more intelligence going on here. Plus, I don’t have the money to fly to conventions. It’s pretty hard to be a member of a club that only has one other member in your state. On their roll I think I’m a lapsed member.
Based on my SAT scores, I do NOT qualify. Mensa entrence exam in 1990, I do. Random online IQ test from 1996, I do not.
Based on my recollection of the years in question, I need to be drunk to get in.
Yup, I qualify for Mensa, but like many others here I’m just not a joiner. I have a master’s degree in library & information science, and a bachelor’s in history.
Well, the best you can hope for is to one day be president.
I’m cheaper than I am smart, so I balked at paying the Mensa membership fees, though all indications are that I’d qualify easily.
Bachelor of Commerce, 2001.
Ok, I’ll be bold and admit it - I have been tested, I don’t qualify. I’m “brighter than average” is what my teachers said but certainly not Mensa quality.
That’s Ok, though. I’ll just sit here and bask in your munificence. 
I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t qualify, but I don’t feel bad about it. I took an online quiz once several years ago that was supposed to be an indicator of whether one would do well on the Mensa entrance exam (assuming there really is one.) I blew it completely – I don’t think analytically in the way Mensa members do. I have a bachelor’s degree in journalism and am working on a master’s in English. That just means I’m much-educated, not necessarily intelligent.
It does if you took it before 1994, according to the link.
I am in no way affiliated with Mensa, and can’t vouch for the accuracy of that link. To be used for entertainment purposes only 
I have heard that they used to take SAT, LSAT, GRE, and other such tests. The cutoffs for these standardized tests are not the upper 2%ile but somewhere more around the top 15%ile (at least in the case of the SAT). Admittedly only a select part of the population takes such exams. FWIW, the scores that get you into MENSA aren’t enough to get you into some of the more selective 4-year colleges and universities in the U.S.
Loads of SDMB poster have “higher educations.” But then so do a high proportion of people in the U.S.
I think the more telling statistics about Dopers is this: a surprising number of them were reading before the age of 3. Just ask them.
Er, damn my vague unqualified language. I mean “High proportion” relatively speaking. Compared to other nations, we send a goodly number of people on to postsecondary education.
I read War and Peace in utero. In braille of course, because the light wasn’t good. In Russian.
And French, of course. Don’t forget that parts are in French, as well. You need to be multilingual to read Tolstoy.
I have a Ph.D.
I took Mensa’s online quiz once. Have never been properly tested for admission.
Yes, the LSAT is a qualifying test. I could join based on my LSAT (although not my SAT), but…eh, never got around to it.
I have a B.A., J.D., and a doctorate in looooooooveology, baby.
I’ve never cared about whether I could join Mensa. Which is probably just as well, because according to the chart Anne Neville provided my SAT score (from nearly 20 years ago) puts me in the 75th percentile. When I was in kindergarten I’d go to a 2nd-grade classroom for reading, and for a few years in grade school I was in a gifted & talented program, but I must have peaked then. <grin> I don’t remember ever taking a formal IQ test, and certainly have never taken one as an adult.
I managed to earn my B.A. Communications with a 2.9 GPA, and am currently halfway through a master’s in English. But I’m a much better grad student than I ever was an undergrad: my current GPA is 3.7, marred only by the “B” I got in the first grad class I took (I’ve gotten an “A” in the last four).
I consider myself to be of average intelligence, and it’s fine by me.
And remember- pull.
I turn three this summer.
