How to Join Irish Mensa

Irish Mensa offers in-person supervised testing and professional prior evidence. British Mensa also lists a GBP 49 supervised online test for UK and Ireland residents, with Irish eligibility handled through the current Irish Mensa application route.

Irish Mensa offers supervised testing and prior evidence

Irish Mensa applies the top-2% admission standard. Its published routes are a supervised intelligence test and prior evidence from an assessment administered by a qualified psychologist.

For the in-person test, applicants must be over 10 years 6 months old, and anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The session takes about 2.5 hours, with results normally sent within 7–10 days. Use the selected booking route for the current retest rule.

Irish Mensa publishes the following annual membership fees:

Membership routeEURGBP
Standard annual membership70.9559.95
Direct debit64.9554.95
Unwaged or under 1844.9537.95

The current Irish sources do not verify the in-person-test or prior-evidence-review fees. Check the live Irish application before paying; these charges are separate from membership dues.

Using the British Mensa supervised online route from Ireland

The British Mensa supervised online test is listed at GBP 49 for UK or Ireland residents. Irish applicants should check the current eligibility and application route with Irish Mensa before booking; residence eligibility does not by itself establish an Irish Mensa application route.

Prior evidence must come from an accepted professional assessment

For prior evidence from a qualified psychologist, use Irish Mensa's current requirements for the accepted test and edition, qualifying score or percentile, examiner details, document format, and any age or recency condition.

A Mensa test result serves the membership decision. If professional interpretation or a report for education, work, or another institution is also needed, arrange the assessment for that separate purpose and then check whether Irish Mensa accepts it as prior evidence.
