Mensa is the most well known, oldest, and largest high-IQ society in existence. The elite club was established in England by Roland Berrill and Lancelot Lionel Ware on October 1, 1945. The name “Mensa” stems from the Latin term meaning “table,” which is symbolized in the organization’s official logo. People who rank in the 98th percentile or above on a standardized, proctored intelligence exam are granted the right to join this prestigious non-profit organization.
In honor of the 64th anniversary of Mensa’s creation, today’s post entails a quiz designed to test your promotional products IQ.
