You can also buy Mensa quiz books at the large retail book stores. They are utterly fascinating. Also, you must be tested to join.

I don't know if this is still done but Mensa used to send out acceptance letters to those who scored above a certain level on the SATs. SAT info isn't as private as one would like and those homeschooling should be aware of this if they use the SAT yearly. The ETS (educational testing service) in Princeton is behind the SAT. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is behind the ETS. I prefer to use the CAT through the Seton School in lower grades for greater privacy.
For more info...read Educating for the New World Order by Bev Eakman. You can get it used at Powells.com usually.

MD, I've been accused, at times, of having lofty ambitions. However, never one time have I been fool enough to apply for MENSA membership. I'd hate for even one of them to die laughing. :)
