==Membership requirement==
Mensa's requirement for membership is a score at or above the 98th [[percentile]] on certain standardized IQ or other approved intelligence tests, such as the [[Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scales]]. The minimum accepted score on the Stanford–Binet is 132, while for the [[Cattell Culture Fair III|Cattell]] it is 148, and 130 in the Wechsler tests ([[Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale|WAIS]], [[Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children|WISC]]).<ref name="Test_Scores">{{cite web |last=American Mensa |title=Join Mensa Using My Past Test Scores |url=https://www.us.mensa.org/join/testscores/ |access-date=2023-02-22 |website=www.us.mensa.org |publisher=}}</ref> Most [[IQ test]]s are designed to yield a [[mean]] score of 100 with a [[standard deviation]] of 15; the 98th-percentile score under these conditions is 130.8, assuming a [[normal distribution]].<ref>See [[Normal distribution#Quantile function]].</ref>

However, American Mensa does not provide a score comparable to scores on other tests; the test serves only to qualify a person for membership.<ref>{{Cite web |last=American Mensa |title=Take the Mensa Admission Test |url=https://www.us.mensa.org/join/testing/ |access-date=2023-02-22 |website=www.us.mensa.org |language=en}}</ref> In some national groups, a person may take a Mensa-offered test only once, although one may later submit an application with results from a different qualifying test. The Mensa test is also available in some developing countries such as Brazil, India, Indonesia and Pakistan.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Mensa International |title=National Mensas |url=https://www.mensa.org/contact/national-groups  |access-date=2023-02-22 |website=www.mensa.org}}</ref>
