If you do not have prior evidence of eligibility, you may qualify by taking two tests at a
Mensa-sanctioned supervised testing session. You must be age 14 or over to
attend a session. A Mensa testing session, which consists of two tests with a short
break in between, usually lasts under two hours. If you are dyslexic, or if your
primary [first] language is not English, you may be eligible to take the Mensa Culture Fair Test,
a language neutral battery of tests. Candidate should be able to understand instructions spoken
in English at the 6th-grade level. A session for these tests may be scheduled by request.
The fee for the Mensa Supervised Test has increased to $40 as of April 1, 2007.
The American Mensa Admissions Tests are given for the purpose of admission into Mensa. A
score at the 98th percentile on either of two tests qualifies you for Mensa membership.
Note: American Mensa does not release test scores and percentiles to anyone, including
candidates. Each of our tests may only be taken once, that is the Mensa Admissions Test
or the Culture Fair Test; you may take both tests but only once each.
