Lines: 6 In my career in both physics and medicine, I have known an awful lot of smart people. None of the really smart ones were in mensa. The people I have known who joined mensa, have either been weird, or had bad inferiority complexes that they were trying to compensate for. One acquaintence joined because he wanted to meet some smart women. It didn't work out too well.
