За МЕНСА Менса е най-старата и най-масовата международна организация на хора с висок коефициент на интелигентност. Създадена е през 1946 година в Англия от Роланд Берил, адвокат, и д-р Ланселот Уеър, учен и юрист. Те имали идея за общност, единственото условие за членство в която да бъде високият коефициент на интелигентност (IQ). Първоначалните цели били, и продължават да бъдат и днес, да се създаде общност, която е неполитическа и не се отличава с расова или религиозна принадлежност. Членове могат да станат хора от всички сфери на живота, чийто IQ ги поставя в горните 2% от населението, желаят да се наслаждават на добра компания и да участват в различни социални и културни дейности. Понастоящем Менса обединява над 100000 членове в над 100 държави. МЕНСА България Началото на българската Менса е поставено през 1991 година, когато са проведени първите тестове на Менса в България. През 1992 година Менса-България е регистрирана като сдружение. От тогава над 2000 души са решили теста на ниво, позволяващо им членство в Менса. На годишната отчетно-изборна среща, проведена от международната Менса на 9-11 октомври'98 в Хонолулу (САЩ), българската Менса бе призната за пълноправна национална Менса с право на един глас на международно ниво.

Mensa was founded in England in 1946 by Roland Berrill, a barrister, and Dr. Lance Ware, a scientist and lawyer. They had the idea of forming a society for bright people, the only qualification for membership of which was a high IQ. The original aims were, as they are today, to create a society that is non-political and free from all racial or religious distinctions. The society welcomes people from every walk of life whose IQ is in the top 2% of the population, with the objective of enjoying each other's company and participating in a wide range of social and cultural activities. What kind of people are Members of Mensa? There is simply no one prevailing characteristic of Mensa members other than high IQ. There are Mensans for whom Mensa provides a sense of family, and others for whom it is a casual social activity. There have been many marriages made in Mensa, but for many people, it is simply a stimulating opportunity for the mind. Most Mensans have a good sense of humour, and they like to talk. And, usually, they have a lot to say. Mensans range in age from 4 to 94, but most are between 20 and 60. In education they range from preschoolers to high school drop-outs to people with multiple doctorates. There are Mensans on welfare and Mensans who are millionaires. As far as occupations, the range is staggering. Mensa has professors and truck drivers, scientists and fire fighters, computer programmers and farmers, artists, military people, musicians, labourers, police officers, glass blowers -- the diverse list goes on and on. There are famous Mensans and prize-winning Mensans, but there are many whose names you wouldn't know. What are the goals of Mensa? Mensa has three stated purposes: to identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity, to encourage research in the nature, characteristics and uses of intelligence, and to promote stimulating intellectual and social opportunities for its members. How many members does Mensa have? Today there are some 110,000 Mensans in 100 countries throughout the world. There are active Mensa organizations in over 40 countries on every continent except Antarctica. Membership numbers are also available for specific National Groups.
