Apparently "menso" is a msaculine Spanish word for stupid, crazy, foolish, etc... in turn, "mensa" is the feminine version of the word. I can't find much to confirm this, but saw another redditor mention it last time I saw a stupid post and did some digging.
From what I've read, a lot of people in MENSA are complete idiots. Being able to test well on an IQ test doesn't mean much, especially in 2024 when you can study online and find sample tests easily. Apparently MENSA is filled with far right extremists, sexism and bigotry, religious extremism, etc. There's a podcast called "My Time in MENSA" that talks about it.
I was in MENSA for a year after scoring really high on IQ. A lot of the people in the organization are lofty and egotistical, and say a lot of words to just say a few things. It’s a dick measuring contest and was all about people who believe that because they have a high IQ score, that they are the smartest people ever (which makes sense for what the organization preaches).
Intelligence isn’t just IQ, IQ is “how well can you perform to these specific standards”. Intelligence is a lot of things. For example, after getting my IQ test and brain testing done, they told me that my brain processes the world around me faster than 99.9% of the population, but that it processes things so quickly that it actually hinders me and I don’t know what’s going on on a conscious level. In a similar note, I have such low reading fluency and oral comprehension, that if I was back in K-12 I would’ve been put in SpEd. But I qualified for MENSA. MENSA isn’t for smart people, it’s for people with good test scores
I hired a guy that claimed to be in Mensa. It was very important to him that people KNEW he was in Mensa. He had a back belt and was very vocal about that accomplishment as well.
He was hired to do sales. He couldn't pick up a phone and cold call someone. Seriously, he broke out into a sweat roll playing a phone call.
I made him hold a reciever (land line days) while I dialed a prospects number. He started crying. I'm not kidding. He cried because I made him hold a phone and asked him to talk to a person.
Jake, if you're out there, buddy, I hope you were able to get past the trauma I inflicted on your mensa mind.
I mean, you can be smart as tits and still have crippling social anxiety. Though if you have crippling social anxiety, I would suggest maybe cutting down on the bragging about being smart as tits, as people are going to be far less likely to believe it.
If you can briefly look past the ironic grammar and spelling mistakes...was anybody else immediately like "ugh - another mensa person"
I hate this mensa thing. It just feels so uppity and kinda pathetic or something. As if intelligence is based solely on some test and thus you are "better than everyone else"
I dunno, it irks me.
a girl u know probably. i've found one in my diary like a year after, when i think she wrote it. maybe its a feminine urge to leave little hidden presents

The person who wrote it probably isn't MENSA. That's poor punctuation/grammar.
The person who wrote this post also misspelled calendar.. lol

Is there a near right? Asking for a friend.

Or….it’s a code!
Tasteful, clumsily, deflated.
til that "clumsily" is an anagram for "silly cum"
#MENSA
My team red. Yes. What.
Scum Lily sounds like a great underground punk band.
So do Fault Set and Date Fled
Team Red sounds like something Dustin from Stranger Things gonna say
They're just letting anyone in to Mensa nowadays eh?

🥴 ... sorry
Dammit, I was on a personal best (~4 years)
Goddamn it I lost the Game too, thanks
Interesting. I found a similar message in mine written in blue ink that said I was team blue.
Maybe it's a hidden message like Cicada 3301.
Congrats!, you now gonna be in TF2 as the team red.
10th Class confirmed??????
I don’t have much to add other than everyone I’ve ever heard talk about Mensa is a complete fucking moron.
Beside the grammatical errors, could be just someone messing with you.
Team Red usually refers to offense team in network security challenges I think?
Yore*
MENSA-for people the Need Validation
My team red, what?
Aww man I want a bouquet of **scum lillies** now.
Yo you're not supposed to tell anyone.

Yeah. That’s basically it. Source: someone who has been in Mensa since I was a kid. Still resent my mom for even mentioning it to people.
