> Now I'm just getting mean. But, I think, it may be a worthwhile question to ask, whether Mensa ever has any kind of worth outside its membership. I often hear "such and such a celebrity is in Mensa" or "such and such a luminary was a part of Mensa", but they never really seem to do anything with their mammoth brains.

The members are in a wide range of occupations. As I have stated before, IQ really doesn't have a lot of bearing on how successful you will be in life. I think self-discipline and a desire to succeed are more likely to get you in a more 'worthwhile' occupation.

I have a high IQ and photographic memory but I am also an artist. I see the world as beautiful colors and ever-changing sounds instead of an endless stream of chores to be accomplished and goals to be met. This is not a trait common among those in 'worthwhile' occupations.

I say 'worthwhile' because I was assuming you meant people in a position to change the world in some big, wonderful way. If I mis-interpreted you, I apologize. Personally, I think most any occupation is worthwhile, in one way or another.
