It is true it has something of a "geek" image, not helped, I'm sure, by people whose only motivation in joining is to be able to mention it on their resume. Mensa is not the only high IQ society out there, and readers might find a different society more to their tastes. Each has a slightly different focus and atmosphere, and some are geared to specialised interests in addition to the high IQ requirement. There is a whole list of societies, their entry requirements and special interests listed on Wikipedia. Personally, I have found my home in Infinity International, but it's different horses for different courses. You mentioned Mensa, concerning which I also have heard mixed reports.
