Area Mensa, the local chapter of the international high IQ society, will hold a
testing session at the Wilmington Stroop Branch
Library, 3980 Wilmington
Pike, on Saturday, December 17, 2015, 10:00 AM – 12:00 noon.</b> <br>
<br>
Test-takers should arrive about 15-20 minutes prior to testing to complete
registration. Late arrivals cannot be accommodated once testing has started.
The test takes about two hours. Those who score in the top two percent of the
population on either of two tests of logic and deductive reasoning are eligible
for membership. The test is open to anyone age 14 and older. The test Mensa
administers is not normed and validated for persons under 14, who may qualify
by other means. <b>For applicants at least 14 but under 18, a parent or
guardian must sign for permission to take the test although the parent or
guardian need not be present at the testing session. If appropriate, please
contact us for the appropriate form for the parent/guardian to sign.</b> Forms
will be available at the testing session or we can send them in advance of the
test date. <b>Each test-taker must have a photo ID</b>. There is no charge to
take the test. <i>To cover expenses of the testing program the national Mensa
office charges $40 to score the test and report the results to the person who
took the test. This may be paid at the time the test is given. </i></span></span></div>
