Members join for different reasons. Some like the social aspect of the
organization, which includes everything from local game nights to the
Annual Gathering. Others enjoy intellectual events such as speaker
meetings, Colloquiums or CultureQuest®.
Whether in person or online, Mensa offers intellectually gifted people a place to share their ideas. More than 150 Special Interest Groups allow members to pursue their interests — from astronomy to quilting — with other Mensans. Many members enjoy the opportunity to serve their communities through our service programs. Mensan volunteers also work with the Mensa Education & Research Foundation to award scholarships to more than 150 college students each year. Members have access to special member benefits that include discounts on travel and financial products and American Mensa's magazine, the Mensa Bulletin. Each new member of Mensa adds something new and special to the organization. We invite you to pursue membership today. |
Joining Mensa is a simple process, use a previous test score for entry or take the admission test. Detailed information on joining American Mensa, testing procedures, and any restrictions can be found on the Join Mensa pages of American Mensa. Locally, we have these steps for you:
GENERAL INFORMATION - MENSA TESTS Reservations are needed, and made with me at the above email address or by phone to (210) 637-6161, as are confirmations of your being able to attend, done the Thursday or Friday before the test. Please send or call me with any questions you might have. Hope you can take one of the tests, and do know that we mean what we say: We want you in Mensa, and want to work with you to make it so.
NON-ENGLISH TESTS Non-language tests: If you feel that a standard test might be unsuitable for you, or if your main language is not English, you may request our three-part non-language battery of tests, also called the Culture Fair series, which will be given at a separate test session. To arrange for this set of tests, please contact us to schedule a specific date and time for them. As with our two-part test, passing any part will qualify you for Mensa. Despite the title, the brief instructions for each of these three tests are written in English. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST AND WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
RESULTS
FUZZINESS Good luck on the test and we look forward to meeting you! |
Ready to take the Mensa Admission Test?
If you do not have evidence of prior testing, and are age 14 and older,

in your South Texas area with one of our certified member volunteers.
To speed the process, use the link below for the most current contact
information with South Texas Mensa's Testing Coordinator.
If you live in South Texas and are looking for a local proctor, follow this link. A proctor in your area will respond to your request as quickly as possible to let you know the dates and times of the next testing session in your area. Most commonly, tests are held in San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Harlingen, and McAllen. A test is scheduled in San Antonio every month.
