Qualifying Scores for the Triple Nine Society

Following is a complete list of the tests used for qualifying new members.

• This list includes all tests used to determine membership eligibility.
• There are no exceptions, under any circumstances, to the minimum qualifying scores published below.
• Age at time of testing is not considered, except as noted below.
• Date the test was taken is not considered, except as noted below.
• All reports of psychologist-administered tests must include the testing psychologist's name, business address, professional letterhead or official stamp, and signature.

Anyone who has been accepted into TNS on the basis of tests formerly used for admission is still a member, with all rights and privileges.

Note: Mensa used to provide test results as a numeric score, but in 2001 changed to a pass/fail notification only. Consequently, recently taken Mensa admission tests can not be used as a basis for TNS admission.

Member Comments

"The email group is what I enjoy most about being a member of Triple Nine. It's an interesting group of people that are deadly smart (and sometimes ignorant) with varied interests and many strong opinions that are all over the map.

There are a lot of interesting topics, some controversial, some not. Occasionally I'll get my ass handed to me in a conversation, but that's what makes it so interesting. I'm not nearly so challenged in my everyday life. These people make me think!

Joining Triple Nine has been a huge, positive change in my life. I think it keeps me sane. Thank you for being there."
