Perhaps I missed it... Has anyone pointed out here that Mensa membership is not necessarily based on IQ tests at all? They also accept top 2% scores on SAT, ACT, and several others. Many Mensa members don't even know their IQ scores. And if the College Board exams don't measure _something_ useful, an awful lot of organizations besides Mensa are in trouble. McD
