I realized that “Mensa” didn’t contain enough numerals to be a phone number, and knew it must be understood that any future member would be able to figure out the next two digits in the sequence. I tried dialling MENSANE, MENSAIL, MENSAFE, and MENSAAB, but got three rebuffs and a fax tone.

      American Mensa’s Mensa Works

      Don’t get lost on the commercial job boards. American Mensa’s Mensa Works is an online employment marketplace uniquely tailored for Mensa members. Whether you’re looking for a new gig — or to grow your own workforce — visit Mensa Works today.

      HAHAHAHA!

      Imagine thinking you’re one of the smartest people in the world yet you still can’t get a job without your special club for alleged geniuses helping you.

      Wonder how many of those people flunked their interview by mentioning their IQ.

      Digital Membership Verification

      We’ve partnered with Credly, an online credentialing platform, to provide digital badges for members and Life Members, allowing you to easily share your service, achievement, and pride on social media, with your contacts, and across other digital platforms.

      Vanity email aliases

      Mensa International offers free vanity email aliases to all current Mensa members. If you’d like a “@member.mensa.org” address, you can have it free along with access to both American Mensa’s online Community and Mensa International’s global online community — for as long as you remain a current member of American Mensa.

      This is just pathetic and certainly not beating the narcissism claims.
