IQ scores vary from test to test. Admission to Mensa requires a score in the top 2% on any accepted standardized test, a list of which can be acquired from Mensa. The 2% cutoff on these tests fluctuates, and does not always translate to an IQ of 130 or above (the traditional definition of genius level IQ.)

How do you measure intelligence?

Intelligence is measured by taking a professional IQ test such as the Standford-Binet. MENSA has a Home IQ Test that can be taken in your home as the name implies. However, there is a testing fee of about $15.00. I've taken it and it is very accurate; however, the Home IQ test is not considered a professional IQ test. It provides a possible "snapshot" of ones IQ. If you score close to around 125, MENSA will inform you that you may be smart enough to gain acceptance into MENSA. However, to gain acceptance you can either take the MENSA IQ Test that is administered several times per year. For information on when the test will be offered and test locations through your country, visit your local MENSA website. MENSA accepts more than 200 IQ Tests and other tests where the scores can be converted into the equivalent of IQ scores. For more information visit: http://www.kids-iq-tests.com/mensa-tests.html

Is a Mensa Level IQ considered a genius?

No, the IQ entry level for Mensa membership is extremely high, by average adult IQ scores, but is not consi considered genius, but there are Memsa members, who test much higher than the entry level, who do have what is considered genius level IQ. There have been many changes to the ways IQ is tested, including EQ, which consider other, more everyday logical & social intelligence. Also, the old "Gold Standard" test was found the be very culturally biased, for instance, the question, "Cup is a word that matches with: A) bowl, B) table, C) saucer". The correct answer was "saucer", but in people who come from cultures who have never used saucers, "Table" would be the correct answer, but would be scored as incorrect. In recent years, the tests have allegedly been changed to eliminate this unfair biased towards people raised in societies not their own, & have leveled the playing field.
