IQ is a meme, so mensa is a society devoted to a meme. a good analog are the people who form cliques around local trivia night events, bunch of losers who pride themselves on being good at random head scratcher questions to validate their egos in lieu of real intellectual credentials

IQ is a meme. It makes you good at fast puzzle solving. Sure this can translate to being good at analytical skills or problems in science/engineering/medicine/law/business/life... but not necessarily, you still have to introduce yourself to the context of these problems and care about it enough to pursue specialized skills.

Some MENSA fags just play chess and solve crossword puzzles.

Both the guys who made it left and basically thought of it as a failure

"However, Berrill and Ware were both disappointed with the resulting society. Berrill had intended Mensa as "an aristocracy of the intellect", and was unhappy that a majority of Mensans came from humble homes,[11]while Ware said: "I do get disappointed that so many members spend so much time solving puzzles.""

I think so, I suffered a brain injury a couple of years ago so I have to do IQ tests every 4-6 months. I have scored as wide as 20 point difference between some of these. I asked the doctor who is overseeing this if this was the result of my injury and he said it is common for there to be a big variance in test scores even for individuals.

I do think IQ has some validity but I question anybody who does social science and claims test scores that can have this kind of variance to be accurate.
