Taking umbrage here. Many active Mensans have little formal education. Generally, the group is not that dissimilar to the socio- economic environment in which it exists. If there are lots of boring stupid reactionary people around then the local group will have lots of boring stupid reactionary members.
Since I'm easily bored, it's my chosen responsibility to make a meeting or party into something more entertaining. You definitely haven't been to anything I've ever hosted, and probably nothing I've attended.
If your intent was to show that scores on tests are not relevant to real world applications of intelligence, you could have done so without denigrating a social organization that doesn't suit your needs.
I've been a member for thirty-five years, with more than half that in central Florida.
