“One in 50 people qualifies for membership,” said Ammon Mahurin, president of Mid-America Mensa. “If you think you might qualify, you probably do.”

Mid-America Mensa includes 614 active members and is one of 132 local Mensa chapters nationwide. The test is open to anyone age 14 and older, but parental permission is required for those ages 14-17. Test takers should bring a photo ID and the testing fee of $40 payable by cash, check, or credit card. To reserve a place please contact Rhonda Johnston, Testing Coordinator, at rjohnston99@aol.com. Walk-ins will be admitted as space allows.

“Being a member of Mensa has been a great experience for me,” continued Ammon Mahurin. “I encourage everyone to take the test and discover the wonderful opportunities available through Mensa.”
