Mensa reserves the right to alter or modify these norms as the tests indicated are renormed or restandardized. All prior evidence submitted to Mensa will be appraised individually, and Mensa reserves the final determination as to the acceptability of any test.
* It should be noted that the term "I.Q. score"
is used as a convenient, easily understood reference, but that candidates
for membership in Mensa must achieve a score at or above the 98th percentile
on a standard test of intelligence. The "I.Q. score" varies
from test to test, as indicated by the list above.
