Mensa

I scored high enough on an official IQ test (as in, from a clinical psychologist who tested me professionally in person, not some illegitimate online test) to get accepted into Mensa. Should I do it? Some people love it, others claim that it's just a bunch of pretentious cunts playing board games and bragging about how smart they are. What do you think? What have your experiences in Mensa been like?

Being smart autists, I figure that at least some of you might know what Mensa is like. I would appreciate any and all serious insight.

The self-outed Mensa members that I do know name drop their affiliation at every possible opportunity and are generally quite obnoxious. Kind of, "I'm always the smartest guy in the room, and if you don't believe it, just ask me" style people.

I'll never forget back in the 1982 at a computer club meeting when the single Mensa member of our club declared that the IBM PC was a totally worthless object and had no future because when you first turned it on and got a cursor on the screen, and you typed in:

1 A$="HELLO"
2 PRINT A$

RUN

...you got error messages every time you hit ENTER, since you were in the operating system and not BASIC. Being a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 1 owner, he vocally asserted that he'd discovered a major bug the first time he sat down at a PC.

I always think of that guy when the subject of Mensa comes up.
