Supervised testing
Supervised tests are held in Victoria Island, Lagos a number of times each year. In some circumstances, an individual testing session can be arranged outside of these regular dates.
The Supervised Test incurs an administrative fee of NGN 20,000 (standard) Fees must be paid in full, in advance. The session takes about an hour. It is necessary to bring a form of valid photo ID (Drivers License or International Passport)
The next testing date will be in Q1 of 2021. Please sign up for our newsletter to be notified of the next date.
If claiming concession status, you will need to provide proof, such as a photocopy of a pension card, student card or similar. This should be sent to the office at info@mensa.ng and the original card taken with you to the test.
You will be contacted by the Proctor in your state with details of the date, time and location of the test.
Prior evidence
You can qualify by showing evidence of a qualifying score in one of the many standard IQ tests we accept. If you can produce evidence of a score at or above the 98th percentile in one of these tests (also accessible from the Menu item on the left), we will assess that evidence and, if it is acceptable, offer you membership.
Our Psychologist’s Form which you will need for presentation of your prior evidence, incurs an administrative fee of NGN 40,000.
If you would like a Psychologist’s Form for your psychologist to complete, please email us at info@mensa.ng with the subject line: “Prior Evidence Applicant”
The Psychologist’s Form must be completed by an accredited, practising psychologist in Nigeria (one registered with the appropriate state board) who certifies that he/she has administered a specific test to you on a specific date and that you have attained a specific score which is at or above the 98th percentile. Our own consulting psychologist will then ascertain that this test is one accepted by Mensa and that you have a qualifying result..
