Mensa la 80 ani: România are cel puțin 380.000 de oameni în primii 2% ai inteligenței • Newsweek România

Mensa, the society for individuals with high IQ, celebrated its 80th anniversary in Bucharest, gathering over 300 members. A journalist's post challenged stereotypes about gifted individuals, highlighting that they are not necessarily lonely or elitist. In Romania, around 380,000 people are estimated to fall within the top 2% of intelligence, yet only a fraction are members. The Mensa test, designed to measure abstract reasoning, is not a comprehensive IQ assessment and does not account for creativity or practical judgment. The community offers networking opportunities and shared interests among diverse members, emphasizing that eligibility is based on a desire to connect rather than a claim to genius.
