What is Mensa?

The purpose of Mensa is to identify and develop intelligence for the benefit of humanity, support intelligence research, and provide an intellectual and social environment for its members. Anyone who achieves a better result on an intelligence test than 98% of the population can become a Mensa member.

Finnish Mensa has 15 local groups and events in all major cities. The local groups organize various meetings and visits for their members weekly or monthly. Mensa also has an active online forum for its members, a member magazine, and a variety of informal activities around the country.

Most of the events are informal meetings, gatherings for interesting discussions and, for example, board games or food and drinks. Activities also include various presentations and company visits. In addition, members organize many themed events, such as theater and art exhibition visits, trips to interesting destinations in Finland, or various functional weekend events. The Finnish Mensa Association also has sports or hobby groups, singles and family activities, and youth activities. Members can also participate in Mensa's international events if they wish.

What is the test about?

The IQ test measures the level of the person being tested in relation to the rest of the population. Accurately measuring intelligence is more complex than measuring many other skills or characteristics, but the IQ test is the most widely accepted measure of intelligence in the scientific world.

Intelligence is measured with several different tests. Most intelligence tests aim to measure the g-factor, or general intelligence. The IQ test is defined by comparing the score to a normal distribution, the average of which is 100.
