Anyone here a member?
I am thinking of taking the test in my country to see if I can join

Is it worth putting it in the resume?
When I did the pre-test, I got a positive result, but I do wonder if it is worth to pay 50 bucks just to belong to this circlejerk.

>Is it worth putting it in the resume?
>Is it worth saying to a possible employer that you are smarter than %98 of people alive today
yes

"smarter"

>Is it worth putting it in the resume?

Holy shit no. This is the easiest way to seem pretentious to everyone and here is a tip: No one likes working with a pretentious asshole.

Do not mention random shit like the awards you have or your IQ unless you are asked for it. Else you will seem like the self absorbed asshole you are.

That said, if for some reason the company actually measures the IQ of their employees or their potentil employees then sure, go for it. At least that way it is relevant. But I've never seen a company do that.

>easiest way to seem pretentious to everyone
>No one likes working with a pretentious asshole.
Let me guess, you tried to join but they said your IQ is barely above 90
No need to be bitter, my friend

Go back to >>>reddit

I became a member when I applied for a job in finance.

>being intelligent enough to get into MENSA
>not being smart enough to realize that being intelligent doesn't matter

Is there some kind of pretentious goldie-locks zone?

I have been a member. It brought me nothing but trouble. People get weird about it. As for the resume part, if you qualify for a job where it would matter, then your formal qualification is more impressive than the club membership. In my personal life, it only brought grief, but you learn something from every experience.. silver lining and all that.

>I have been a member. It brought me nothing but trouble. People get weird about it.
Explain please

Friends will find out sooner or later. I didn't know I had to hide it, and would not have wanted to do it if I would have known. Even if you don't tell them, when it gets inevitable in conversations about the subject, you will have to tell them, lies of omittance are not nice. or they will see the member newsletter at your place.. Anyhow, people expected me to be different, and they expected me to care about it. What people failed to realize was that I was and am the same person I have been all my life, now I just had a little more insight into my own strengths. Surprising to me people who should have had no way of finding out seemed to know about it. Some people were offended i did not tell them. People get defensive about intelligence. The false perception is that intelligence was given to a person, they did not work on it. This is only partially true. Just like a 100 meter sprinter, some ability was innate, but you have to work on it to get good. Intelligence is really the same. And no-one thinks they are better because they can solve logic puzzles that most people can not do or would take really long to do. Arguably better at logic puzzles, not a better person. But people are touchy about this subject. People are afraid of not being good enough. In most of my daily life I have no use of my full intellect. Life really is designed for the average person.

Last time I tried a test my IQ was 128. What do you think about it?

>my IQ was 128

Lol 130iq is not a genius level. Either this is completely untrue or you just kept bringing it up to friends and family until they got tired of you. Normies will either not know what mensa is or not care, for good reason.

lol this dude's a fuckin retard

why do people but so much effort into baiting posts?

go ahead and try it dude

you'll be talked about around the office as that "weird kid with the mensa membership" after you're done with the interview

not even joking. this is for a process engineering gig so it might be different elsewhere

Yes, but I am sure it will help you land the job by a varying percent. Maybe not the fact that you have a membership to a silly club, but the fact that you have high intelligence.

I am not saying that high intelligence even is useful, but it is a huge bragging right in our time

>joining a """club""" that circlejerks over exam score.
lmao

at least join freemasons, loyal order of the moose, etc.

How am i baiting? That is my true life experience.

I never told you my score, son.

Only do it if you're getting into a field that cam make you famous but notorious for something low/effort/intellect.

Like if you want to make Let's Plays professionally it could make some good bantz ammo for STEMfags busting ass to see you shitposting on Veeky Forums about your 300k subscribers starting vidya job.

I am a member of mensa Denmark, what up

An employer's attitude will be, if you're so smart then why is all you have to show for it a reward? Where's the motivation to do extracurriculars? Shit, where's the curriculum? What proof is there that you're also competant and low-maintenance?

Thank you for proving my point :D

>But I've never seen a company do that.
A large part of an initial test to be an air traffic controller in my country consists of questions from an iq test, some basic math and a few riddles. They call it a 'predisposition test'.
