    Mensa is a private society where you pay for membership and take a test which cherry picks from actual standardized intelligence tests and are openly available so you can practice them. Proper ones used in neuropsychology measure more than just pattern recognition. I don’t know why Mensa has gotten such a prominent place, but it shouldn’t be regarded as the benchmark for anything.
