In Reply to: Amazed at IQs below - WOW
if you were as brilliant as you profess to be, you would not feel the need to broadcast it on a public forum. Wouldn't your abundant intellect be satisfaction enough? Wouldn’t you just prefer to sit and marvel at yourself in the mirror or something? Why would you bother to come here and post among those who probably don’t even have the slightest inkling as to your enormous intelligence?
And, yes, modesty is a good thing to be, whether man or woman. With your massive brain power I would think you would have figured that out a long time ago.
(I posted something similar below, but I wanted to be sure MM didn't miss it).

What mensa is
What is Mensa?
Mensa was founded in England in 1946 by Roland Berrill, a barrister, and Dr. Lance Ware, a scientist and lawyer. They had the idea of forming a society for bright people, the only qualification for membership of which was a high IQ. The original aims were, as they are today, to create a society that is non-political and free from all racial or religious distinctions. The society welcomes people from every walk of life whose IQ is in the top 2% of the population, with the objective of enjoying each other's company and participating in a wide range of social and cultural activities.
I don't know my IQ, but I must be a mensa then! LOL!!!!

What does Mensa mean? sorry don't have a high IQ I guess!
Mensa/IQ status doesn't mean very much to me(sm)
I have an acquaintance who takes great pride in his Mensa status, yet for the past 4 years, this status did nothing to help him obtain gainful employment. He was intelligent in that he was able to get his MIL to make house payments, pay utilities and buy his family (wife and 2 kids) groceries with her retirement funds. Guess we'll give him credit for that.
He finally did get a job after playing computer games and hacking into other's computers for the past 4 years, this grown man of 35 or so. Yes, Mensa brought him up in status. I like to think of him as lazy. He wants money but doesn't want to earn it.
Montana MT
I am from Billings, MT. If you are looking around here I would check Shepherd, Lockwood, or Laurel. If not looking around the Billings area I am afraid I cannot be much help. Good luck!
I don't get it. Are you from Montana or something?
Montana
I am in Montana also...Libby Montana since October. Used to be in Coos Bay OR
Are you in Montana now?
I am planning trip close by there later this summer, do not know if this where you live. i heard beautiful there. It is really hard for me to believe in the years you listed you had problems like that. I see we are being pushed off the side of the board but again sorry you have such bad vibes about where you lived.
Used to be a MENSA candidate but because I'm getting older, I'm losing it, only 140

i agree... Maybe I will join MENSA, just for the companionship
no shame in having a good IQ, when all the dust settles. Go for it MT!
Mensa, I think they are insecure, and they feel threatened that others
I am just flat out stunned at the vitriol generated by this subject. There's more anger and disagreement here than on the abortion question on page 1! I feel like people who are flaming you, and this question, are so phenomenally afraid of being thought of as less than smart, that they come out with teeth bared just to make themselves feel like they are defending the castle againt all comers. It's incredible. I should go get my psych degree and base it on these results.
Are there any Montana MTs on this board?
I want to move back there and am having a problem finding a place to rent in the country where I can keep my horse. I work for a national, so where I live wouldn't be a problem. Anybody on here from Montana?
why not try eastern montana
if you already work for a national why not go for eastern Montana renting or buying real estate is much cheaper and horse acres much easier to find
MT is abbreviation for Montana

The company isn't in Montana
You can email me to get the name of the company though.
Response was to the Montana MT, not you.
last time i checked, MENSA was a party organization! Not much more going on.
I don't care if you are a mensa or a full blown idiot...
like MensaMT who tells us she is awesome at everything she does and everything she touches is gold, then you deserve to be flamed! All those things may be true, but come on...nobody wants to hear you tell about how wonderful you are. There are plenty of MTs out there doing all she is doing - with a much less IQ - who don't have to tell a soul!
Mensa AND common sense -- prejudice obviously ignorance
Oh bosh. I am a member of Mensa and a medical transcriptionist. I think it is VERY narrow minded of the whole bunch who criticize something they no NOTHING about. Mensa is simply an organization whose qualification is that you test in the top 2 percent on any of a couple of different IQ tests. High IQ and common sense are not mutually exclusive. I have two other comments: Intelligence is matriarchal (look it up) and if you would like the cheapest way of finding out your true IQ Mensa is generally the cheapest way to do it. It used to consist of 15 bucks and a Saturday morning at a university test -- but I'm sure there are more modern ways now. Contact American Mensa and find out. They are a very interesting bunch and have special interest groups which consist of just about any topic you can think of from alcoholics to chocoholics to irish dancing and beyond....
And to think there is an entire country above Montana! No
zz
Because it looks like Kansas. Western MT is real Montana.
