Ditto. I've contemplated joining other high IQ societies such as Intertel but the size of the membership thing has always been the stopping point. The reason I belong to Mensa is primarily b/c I enjoy the social network and, if there are few other local members, that is a moot point. Dds wil have to be retested @ some point if they want to join b/c I don't have original signatures on IQ tests for them. For now, they can accompany me to any M events of interest, though.
