"Yes, I saw that he claims to be a member. I'm not sure if I buy it tbh. I don't know what the author is bitter about. It just reads like it's written by someone who was rejected by a mensan. The language is emotionally loaded and dismissive; it reeks of butthurt. Just my opinion btw" comment from MENSA subreddit. Maybe even stronger evidence than what you presented!

I'm not too suprised by this finding. In Mensa France for instance, they even have a page where you see a test sample composed of abstract item so that you can practice it, so to speak, and feel more confident before applying to Mensa membership. Just the fact they made it publicly available speaks so much about what they think of IQ validity.
