    If I remember rightly, it is not a walk in event. You have to first take the home test and if you get above a certin % of the population you can take the sit down test.

    I am open to correction on this but I am rather sure about it...

    It was a long time ago, but I think there was a small fee involved too.

    Cheers guys.

    Do you reckon I could pay the "small fee" at the site? Do you guys know a UCD phone number I can contact tomorrow morning?

    According to the Mensa Ireland Test Dates page, you can book a place by email, no other requirements, and their FAQ says the fee is €24. They say UCD, but don't say where in UCD, so I don't think they want walk-ins. Never mind, they're doing it again on 21 March.

    I did the home test first, and then the ones in UCD.

    Why's this so URGENT!!!!?

    You have to book the test. AFAIK you can't just walk in and take it. Do the home test first - see if you attain the percentile required then take the real one by booking it with Mensa. They run them all the time.

    @The_Minister: so did I. And I was accepted. Feeling good about myself when I got home and the father-in-law flattened me with: "you know what they say about people with high IQs? - they're good at IQ tests" :o Never a truer word tbh :D

    I prefer "Your IQ is an approximate measure of your ability to do IQ tests", myself. Never taken one, amn't bothered ever taking one. I know I'm smart, good enough for me.

    I did one of those years ago in UCD. Was accepted but didn't want to pay the membership fee. Don't see much point in joining once you have the score.

    I think you're making a false jump in logic; "IQ tests are not a fully accurate measurement of mental capacity, therefore they are meaningless"
