TOP 2 IQ Percentile Re: [extropy-chat] Seven cents an hour?

[xllb]

1. Has anyone included MENSA membership on a resume? What was the reaction
of the readers?
2. I thought it might be affirming to find out that I qualified. MENSA's web
site told me that a high enough LSAT score would automatically get me in. I
immediately called my Law School Records Office to ask how I'd go about
getting confirmation of my score.
3. It turns out that their records don't go back that far. I have never felt
so old.

Regards,

Rick
