My experience at MENSA meetings was a bunch of people bragging about their IQ. Many had their IQ listed on their name tag.

That makes me want to crash a meeting wearing some nonsensical number like 500 and challenge anyone who questioned it to a "battle of wits".

What country?

I've never seen that at Mensa in Germany, Hong Kong, Netherlands, Malaysia, UK, US, or elsewhere, really.

In fact, the matter of IQ has rarely if ever come up at all (except in abstract discussions of testing, factor analysis, operationalisation, objectivity/reliability/validity, etc.).
