Controversy[]

The issue of intelligence testing has consistently been a controversial topic.

At the core of many critics’ polemics is the use of online admissions tests and their validity in determining a users’ true IQ. Membership requires a minimum one time fee of $79, which is considerably less than the Mensa fee structure.
