My mom and I visited puzzle MENSA group early on. She didn’t like for some odd reason. Looking back I can see why. Lot’s of kids burned out by HS being pushed too hard.
I’m thankful my mother had the common sense to keep me away. Always considered IQ verbals like a dick measuring contest.
I have a grown son that qualified for the MENSA group...as ‘an adult’ he was asked to Join MENSA and declined. Preferred being known as the individual he is without an IQ label preceeding him.
