Wednesday evening Mensa was testing eight potential members. And I was being tested as a potential tester.

Prior to this double test I had observed a couple of other tests to learn the procedure and this was to be my final exam. Two other testers were present to watch me carry the whole thing out and judge if I did a satisfactory job. It went well, I didn’t screw up too much and now I am officially a tester for Mensa Denmark!

So what is being a tester all about? Well, you set up dates and places. People come, get an introduction to Mensa and instructions regarding the test. Then you give them the test and keep an eye on them while they take it. Afterwards you answer all their questions. When they have left you mail the tests to the psychologist who analyses them. That is basically it. I bring people to Mensa!
