Officially, Mensa\u2019s stated purposes are \u201cto identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity; to encourage research in the nature, characteristics and uses of intelligence; and to provide a stimulating intellectual and social environment for its members.\u201d<\/p><p style=\"white-space: normal;\">Mensa holds no opinions beyond its broadly stated\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mensa.org\/storage\/2024\/01\/Mensa_Constitution_2023_2.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">constitutional aims<\/a>.
