*HIGH-IQ SOCIETY MENSA TO OFFER ADMISSION TEST *

*(Beavercreek, OH)* – Dayton Area Mensa, the local chapter of the
international high IQ society, will offer the society’s admission test on
Wednesday, May 16, 2018 from 6:00 – 8:00 PM at the Beavercreek Branch
Library, 3618 Dayton-Xenia Rd., Beavercreek, OH.

Test takers should arrive about 15-20 minutes prior to testing to complete
registration. Late arrivals cannot be accommodated once testing has
started. Each test taker must have a photo ID and the $60 testing fee,
which is charged by the national Mensa office to cover expenses of the
testing program.  Those who score in the top two percent of the general
population on either of two tests of logic and deductive reasoning are
eligible for Mensa membership.

The test is open to anyone age 14 and older, but parental permission is
required for those ages 14-17.  The test American Mensa administers is not
normed and validated for persons under 14. Applicants of any age can also
use prior evidence from a wide variety of other standardized IQ tests to
qualify.  Dayton Area Mensa has members from elementary school age through
middle nineties. Mensa members come from all walks of life, races, faiths
and ethnic, social and economic backgrounds. They include engineers,
homemakers, teachers, military personnel, actors, athletes, mechanics,
students, and CEOs, and have a wide variety of interests. They all share
one common trait — high intelligence. The Dayton chapter has over 200
members in the greater Dayton-Springfield-Middletown area, and regularly
organizes lunch and dinner groups, games nights, pub crawls, movie nights,
gifted youth activities and visits to various educational, cultural, and
just plain fun events around the area.

A language-neutral, culture-neutral, non-timed test is available for
applicants whose first language is not English, who have trouble with timed
tests, are dyslexic, or who might otherwise have difficulty with the test
most applicants take. Please contact us for an appointment if this would
apply to you. This test is not given with the May 16 test.

For additional information or to pre-register for the test, please contact
testing at dayton.us.mensa.org or call 937-546-7885. Preregistration is
encouraged. Also see Dayton Area Mensa’s web site at
