New Mexico Mensa Social Network
New Mexico Mensa is a local chapter of American Mensa Ltd, "the High IQ Society", which is in turn a national group of Mensa International. Geographically, New Mexico Mensa covers the northern 2/3 of our state, from Socorro up to the Colorado border plus the northern Texas Panhandle (Amarillo and environs).
RVC6 Report From time to time, unfortunately, members of Mensa make themselves so obnoxious that their fellow members, in self-defense, find it necessary to impose some sort of disciplinary action upon the miscreants. This is accomplished by means of the procedures specified in Article IX of the Bylaws of American Mensa, which can be found on the national website (www.us.mensa.org).

Mensa LinksNote: most of these links take you to other websites. To get back to NM Mensa's, click the "back" button in the upper left corner of the site you have gone to. SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION The Mensa Foundation offers many scholarships and you don't have to be a member of Mensa to apply. Check back after September 15, 2010 for information on this year's program. |
How to JoinThe only qualification for Mensa membership is a score in the top 2% of the general population on a supervised standardized test of intelligence. Certain older SAT test scores can also be used as these have been correlated with intelligence tests. You can either submit prior evidence or take two tests that we hold periodically; the testing takes about two hours to complete including a break of 15 minutes. If you are not mathematically inclined, we recommend that you take the Miller Analogy test usually available through a psychologist or University. To be placed on a waiting list of people to be tested, please call our testing coordinator Gordon Graham at 505-858-1950 or you may E-MAIL HIM.
The American Mensa website has quite a few resources that you may wish to check: Go to Us.mensa.org and click (at top) on Join Mensa. Then click on a link to your left such as Already Qualified, Submit Test Scores, Membership Application, or perhaps Home Test. Have fun browsing. Take a practice test for fun. Go to the FUN STUFF link, select DIFFICULT IQ TESTS, and find the Chimera Analogy Test. This one's fast, fun and rather accurate. SurveyAs a sophomore at Southern Methodist University, I am conducting a survey on high intelligence and faith. It is 2 questions. Thank you. Last Updated (Tuesday, 10 August 2010 15:40) |

| The Fourmile Canyon Fire continued to burn west of Boulder, Colo., in this image taken on Sept. 7, 2010, casting a long line of smoke to the east that was visible from NASA's Aqua satellite in its orbit around the Earth. MODIS, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, on NASA?s Aqua satellite captured this natural-color image of the fire at 2:40 p.m. local time (20:40 UTC) on Sept. 7. The red outline corresponds with the unusually high surface temperatures associated with an active fire. The thick smoke plume flows eastward. Over the plains northeast of Denver, the smoke plume casts a shadow to the north. By early morning on Sept. 8, thousands of people had abandoned their homes while the battle against the blaze continued. Image Credit: NASA/MODIS ... | ||
