In response to the growing interest from parents and younger individuals in Mensa Taiwan, and in order to establish a clearer and more accessible participation framework in compliance with applicable regulations, Mensa Taiwan will, starting this year, implement a trial program allowing eligible under-18 applicants to participate in Mensa Taiwan’s application process.
This includes registration for the in-person intelligence test, as well as arrangements regarding post-qualification membership status and participation in activities. The relevant guidelines are outlined below.
📌 This trial program applies only to applicants who are at least 12 years old but under 18 years of age in the year of application.
Trial Program for Under-18 Applicants: In-Person Intelligence Test
Previously, under-18 applicants seeking to qualify for Mensa could only do so by submitting an official Wechsler Intelligence Scale report (WISC / WAIS) for eligibility review.
Considering the advantages of in-person testing in terms of fairness, accessibility, and overall experience, Mensa Taiwan will, during the trial period, open designated in-person intelligence test sessions to eligible under-18 applicants.
👉 Go to the Mensa Taiwan Intelligence Test Registration ⚠️ Participation by under-18 applicants is limited to designated trial test sessions only. Please ensure that the selected test session is eligible before registering.
👉 Go to the Wechsler Intelligence Test Report Application
Post-Qualification Membership Status
Applicants under the age of 18 who meet Mensa Taiwan’s admission requirements through either the Mensa Taiwan supervised IQ test or an official Wechsler Intelligence Scale report (WISC/WAIS) may apply for full membership in Mensa Taiwan.
In addition, eligible applicants may choose to apply for membership in Mensa International, and enjoy the benefits and opportunities offered by the international organization.
To ensure the safety and well-being of younger members and to comply with relevant regulations and operational requirements, certain activities, member communities, messaging groups, and communication platforms may have age restrictions or require parental/guardian accompaniment.
Participation requirements may vary depending on the nature of each activity. Details will be specified in the relevant event announcements and participation guidelines.
For some activities, applicants under the age of 18 may be required to complete additional eligibility verification or register through direct communication with the event organizer.
Mensa Taiwan is committed to providing young members with opportunities for learning, intellectual exchange, and social engagement while maintaining an appropriate and safe environment for all participants.

Trial Nature and Future Adjustments
This program is implemented on a trial basis. Mensa Taiwan will conduct rolling reviews and adjustments based on practical implementation outcomes, participant feedback, and applicable regulatory conditions.
Any subsequent changes or additional guidelines will be announced separately.
Notes
Under-18 applicants, whether registering for the intelligence test or participating in any in-person activities after qualification, must provide consent from a legal guardian and must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian throughout the entire activity.
If the required accompaniment is not provided, participation will not be permitted, and a refund may be processed in accordance with Mensa Taiwan’s refund policy.
Eligibility, formats, and participation requirements for individual activities shall be governed by the specific announcements for each activity.
Mensa Taiwan reserves the right to final review, adjustment, and interpretation of all related matters.
