    I’ve found that a brag about being a Mensa member in a Twitter profile is an excellent indicator that the person doing the bragging should be muted or blocked.https://twitter.com/HNTurtledove/status/1227286918615855104 …

    I block trolls generally. I particularly block trolls who brag they're Mensans in their bio. A smart POS is still a POS. 🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫 https://twitter.com/mrwinchester200/status/1227286410241171456 …

        Or “free thinker.” My experience (which admittedly might be heavily influenced by confirmation bias) is that people who brag about being a “free thinker” are about as far from forethought as you can get. What they really usually mean is that they like to say offensive things.

        It always strikes me as someone who is desperate to show evidence of their intelligence... all other methods having failed.

        Most of the Mensa membership would agree with you. (I'm not being snarky.)

        Is Mensa still a thing? I thought they disappeared in the 80's along with Jazzercise.

        It is in showbusiness, like with Slovenian model Iris Mulej or Polish singer Doda. People in STEM sometimes take Mensa's test (paying for someone to tell them they are intelligent does indicate narcissism) but refuse to become members.
