There are multiple ways to qualify for admission to American Mensa, Ltd. and the Rhode Island Mensa Local Group.

American Mensa, Ltd. offers two different tests for admission. Either one can qualify you for admission. They are appropriate for most candidates. You may take both tests, once each, regardless of method (in-person vs. private).

The in-person test fee is normally $60 per session (two tests), payable in cash, credit card, American Mensa voucher, check, or money order payable to American Mensa, Ltd. All candidates must have a photo ID. Candidates between the ages of 14 and 18 must have proof of age and be accompanied to registration by a parent or guardian, who will sign the consent to test. Unfortunately, we cannot test anyone younger than 14 years old. Parents/guardians are not allowed in the room while testing takes place, unless they are also testing.

Many of our tests are administered on Saturday mornings. If this is not convenient for you, please suggest a day or time that is. We cannot guarantee we will be able to accommodate you, but we will try. Contact us at testing@rhodeisland.us.mensa.org.

American Mensa also offers private testing through local testing venues. For Rhode Island and SE Mass., the locations include Providence, Warwick, Cumberland, Lincoln, Newport (all in Rhode Island) and in Brockton and Westport, Massachusetts. The private testing fee is $99 (two tests), and registration is through American Mensa, Ltd. at How Private Mensa Admission Testing Works.

You can also submit prior evidence for admission Join Mensa Using My Past Test Scores, or take the Home test to see how you do before taking the actual test Take the Online Mensa Practice Test.

If your child is younger than 14 years old, our Gifted Children's Coordinator may be able to offer some guidance. Contact giftedcoordinator@rhodeisland.us.mensa.org.
