Qualifying Test Scores

American Mensa accepts scores from approximately 200 different standardized intelligence tests*. Often potential members have taken acceptable tests at other times in their lives and don’t realize they may already qualify for membership.

Please note that all documentation must be the original or a notarized copy of the original. Review of your qualifying scores may be delayed if your documentation does not meet this requirement. In order for scores to be accepted for Mensa membership, tests must be administered by a neutral and qualified third party in a traditional testing environment under conditions appropriate for the norming standards of each test (such as the classroom of a certified school teacher or a private psychologist).

These tests no longer correlate with an IQ test. Note that the acceptance date applies to the date you took the test, not the date you join Mensa. You can still join Mensa by using older scores.

Many intelligence test scores will qualify you for Mensa, but Mensa’s supervisory psychologists will have to individually appraise the documentation. Almost any test with “achievement” in the title is not acceptable for Mensa admission. American Mensa does not accept unsupervised testing as proof of eligibility, specifically unsupervised testing administered electronically or via Internet-based tests

**

Submitted documentation must be an original copy mailed from the testing agency, the Law School Admission Council. Printouts from websites or PDFs will not be accepted.

The new military tests are vocational aptitude tests and are not suitable for Mensa admission.
