Mensa - The largest and oldest society for people with high-IQs in the world. Mensa is the Latin word for "table".
IQ - A means of measuring human intelligence. A person’s IQ is usually ascertained by making them sit a standardised test. Some have criticised these tests as a means of evaluating intelligence, claiming that they ignore much of what it means to be intelligent.
