Anyone here a member of Mensa? What's the admission process like? Are there perks beside the feeling of exclusivity?

It costs money and the people are mostly pseudo-intellectuals. That's what you get when you let in IQ's as low as 130.

You can add it to your resume in 72 font to cover up all the white space

In a typical Mensa meeting you have high-school teachers, accountants, and other plebs spouting pseudo-intellectual bullshit that you expect to hear at party school freshman frat parties.

It's a circlejerk

There, there, you little snowflake, tell us more about how genius you are.

So much this. I tested into the danish Mensa chapter after playing with their online IQ test that is so often posted here and finding that I was maybe a bit more intelligent than I had realized.
I was given a copy of their self-published internal newsletter as a sample while I decided if I wanted to fork over the membership fee (it's not exactly cheap).
All the articles were grandstanding attempts at self-glorification with respect to the authors' IQ. "Oooh look how smart I am." Etc etc etc.. But not a single person who contributed had any kind of job that showed they were actually using their IQs for something productive and meaningful.
One article in particular did stand out, as it was not about the author's IQ, but instead was a very bad attempt at writing fiction, in this case a revenge-driven fantasy where the author captures a foreign door-to-door trick-thief and tortures the man to death in his basement as punishment in some kind of sick and depraved conception of "justice". I'm not even fucking kidding.
At that point I realized that all the acutely intelligent people who I actually hoped to meet were out in the world, to busy with their lives and their careers, to ever join the circle-jerk that is MENSA.
