Thanks, I appreciate you taking time to respond to my objections. Will read the book.
I agree that Mensa selects for “not having better ways to spend your time”. I think you probably overestimate the impact of retraining—there are many people who keep taking the test every year, and keep failing every year. (Perhaps retraining properly already requires some intelligence threshold?) I agree that Mensa isn’t high enough bar—it’s like a slightly above-average university, except that you can meet dozen people in local Mensa and hundreds in local university.
