Metropolitan Washington Mensa (MWM) is a chapter of Mensa, the international society for people who score in the top 2% on IQ tests. The goals of the group are to provide and encourage social and intellectual interaction. There are approximately 1,800 members in the Greater Washington, DC Area and we regularly schedule 40+ events each month. 

Mensa is for those who rejoice in the exercise of the mind. If you enjoy mental challenges and revel in the interplay of ideas, Mensa is an organization that will stretch your mind and expand your horizons.

How to Join

To join MWM, you actually join American Mensa, and tell them that we are your “chapter of preference”. There are several ways to join from sending in approved test scores to taking the Mensa exam.

What We Do

We do lots of different things. We throw parties (and axes!), we go to art galleries, we go to scientific lectures… and bars, restaurants, breweries, plays, movies, and parades.

Regional Gathering!

A Regional Gathering (RG) is a weekend-long event (usually Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon) where a large group of Mensans and their guests descend for a great time.

Metropolitan Washington Mensa

We are all members of American Mensa but otherwise have very little in common.  We come from all professions, socioeconomic backgrounds, races, religions, political viewpoints, etc. — some of us even come from other countries.  We come from all walks of life, we just all walk a bit faster than most people.
