History of Mensa
Mensa was founded in England in 1946 by Roland Berrill, a barrister, and Dr. Lance
Ware, a scientist and lawyer. They had the idea of forming a society for bright people,
the only qualification for membership of which was a high IQ. The original aims were,
as they are today, to create a society that is non-political and free from all racial or
religious distinctions.
History of Malaysian Mensa
Tan Sri Dato' Yong Poh Kon became the Founding Chairman when he registered the
Malaysian Mensa Society on 22 May 1984 after several years of effort. Members prior
to that were only direct members of Mensa International. Establishing a national
Mensa would also allow greater flexibility in organising activities and events as well as
allow a large portion of funding to be channelled locally.
