What does 'Mensa' stand for?

I think that’s mesa, I don’t remember table in Spanish having an “n” :(

neither did I but that’s what it said!

Really? Ha, I asked my mom and she gave me that ‘’are you kidding me’’ look lol

Ah, no. I meant Mensa the society. Mensa is the largest and oldest high-IQ society in the world. It is a non-profit organization open to people who score at the 98th percentile or higher on their standardized test.

look yourself…”Mensa” means “table” on one site…then on another site it says Mensa means stupid in spanish lmfao!!!

From Mensa’s own FAQ page: “The word “Mensa” means “table” in Latin. The name stands for a round-table society, where race, color, creed, national origin, age, politics, educational or social background are irrelevant.”

I’ll think about behaving >_<” pouts I can’t believe this mad woman…Nighty night!

So it’s latin! :O

lol…night

Mensa means like idiot, not table, its an insult.

Thanks Ichi, that’s what I was looking for.
