Questions relation to Mensa Singapore admission.
Mensa Singapore conducts the Mensa Singapore Admissions Test ("MSAT") for persons aged 14 and above to see if he or she qualifies for membership. The MSAT involves symbols and pictorial representations, and does not require knowledge of any particular language or mathematics.
If your child is below 14 years old, and you wish to admit your child to Mensa, you need to bring your child to any qualified Psychologist for a test such as the WISC-R test. If your child has undergone similar tests before, you may submit those test results to Mensa for consideration. Upon receiving of your report/test results from the psychologist, kindly forward it to Mensa Singapore. If the result meets Mensa criteria, we will revert to the parent/applicant submitting the test results/report. This is how Mensa Singapore presently accepts younger children to join the society.
You can look at the upcoming schedule as well as register for the test here:
If you see nothing on that page, it means the next test schedule is not out yet. Generally, we conduct an average of 6 tests a year. Note that registration for a particular date will be close once the capacity is full.
How soon test results can be released depends on the availability and schedule of our busy volunteer testers/markers.
Our average turnaround time is around 6-8 weeks. This includes time for collating, marking, checking and sending out of results.
You can contact us to check if you do not receive your test results after 8 weeks.
As a general guide, recognised IQ tests (e.g. WISC, WIAT, and not general ability or knowledge tests like GMAT, SAT, BAS) conducted by registered psychologists are more likely to be accepted.
If you have undergone such a test by a registered psychologist, feel free to submit it for our review at office@mensa.org.sg and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Note that we do not have a fixed list of acceptable tests. The acceptable tests may change from time to time in accordance with Mensa International policy.
The Mensa Singapore Admission Test (MSAT) is used solely for qualification for membership in Mensa Singapore and should not be used for any other purpose.
The result is not meant to be used as an IQ test and you will also not be given an IQ score.
