[Blindmath] Giving a Test for Mensa

[Stewart Dickson]

Hi, Roopakshi,

Here is the list of qualifying tests for admission into Mensa:
http://www.us.mensa.org/Content/AML/NavigationMenu/Join/SubmitTestScores/QualifyingTestScores/QualifyingScores.htm

I think that the answer to your question gets deferred to the access 
means that more general testing organizations offer, e.g., school 
districts, college board, etc.

WHen I tested at a Local Mensa testing date, I took the California Test 
of Mental Maturity (CTMM)
