I found out about a month, that an IQ test I took in 1974, graded high enough and was acceptable to Mensa as proof of eligibility. So after obtaining the certified document I submitted it. Today I got a letter saying my document meets their eligibility requirements!

It means nothing but really pisses off my wife, she still doesn't believe it, lol!

I know it is utterly self-serving but I'm actually proud of it!

Which test was it you took, and what kind of minimum score did the Mensa bunch need?

The actual test was the a component of the battery of tests I took upon entering the Army. The group of tests was either called the ASVAB, Armed Services Vovational Aptitude Battery test or the Army General Classification Tests.  The individual test score that they accepted was the GT score. Almost every position/job in the military had a GT score requirement. For example, Officer Candidate school required a 110 while Army Flight School required a 115.

To my understanding, the same people who started creating IQ or aptitude tests wrote these tests for the military. Mensa requires a test score representing the top 2% for admission which generally equates to a IQ of 130. The GT test I took was changed after 1980 so only scores until then were acceptable. The minimum score they accepted was a 136 on this test roughly approximating an IQ of 130.  My test grade was 146.

A list of tests and qualifying scores can be found on their website at:

Where did you do boot camp, my dad was a drill sergant at fort jackson later 70s.

I actually did it in the Air Force at San Antonio, TX. I had an enlistment guarantee which they couldn't fulfill, so I got out and joined the Army and didn't have to do it again.
