MENSA (Latin for table) is the name of an international invitational society. The membership of Mensa is drawn from persons with an I.Q. in the 98th percentile of all scores, as determined by standardized intelligence tests. There are separate controlling national organizations under the umbrella of Mensa International.

The disparaging acronym is "Many Erudite Neurotics Seeking Attention".

If you are referring to the Mensa International organization, "mensa" is not an acryonm. It is a word taken from two Latin words: : mēns, which means "mind"; and mēnsa, which means "table" -- the concept that the organization is a round-table society of minds.

The organization is was established as a free of social distinctions: class, race, politics, religion, etc., and has no ideological or philosophical premise. Its members represent many points of view. The organization's logo was chosen to demonstrate the round-table nature of the organization; the coming together of equals.

They don't stand for anything. Mensa is the Latin word for 'table'. The founders of the Mensa organization thought that they would gather very intelligent persons round a table to discuss the issues of the day and come up with ideas for world peace.
