But, can't you see, thats the same problem--- SAT measures spatial reasoning/math reasoning, and verbal --- How about Mensa including other IQ criterion (kinesthetics, athleticism, music, social IQ, or EQ)? Or are current Mensans discriminatory only toward their own type of IQ testing? Kind of reminds me of an exclusive, but jaded country club whose intellectual criterion were defined in the early part of this century.
