Yeah, you just need scores in the top 2%, and they don't even have to be IQ scores.

OP, I was in Mensa when I was a kid, but it didn't do much for me. I was the only kid in my area, and the adults were generally more on the MG end of the gifted spectrum, so I didn't fit in much better with them than I did with ND folks. But if you are in an area in which there are a lot of kids in Mensa, it might be worth a shot. smile
