Mensa's Research: Mensa has established the Mensa Education and Research Foundation (MERF) which carries out educational and research projects. MERF manages the Mensa scholarship program for post-secondary-education students. Grants are awarded on the basis of ability with no regard as to sex, race, age, creed, financial status or even Mensa membership. MERF publishes the Mensa Research Journal to which members may subscribe.
We also seek members' opinion on current questions. Surveys are conducted by mail and through our publications; they ask where in the pattern of growth and change of public opinion does the opinion of the highly intelligent people fit? Can it have a formative influence on public opinion, or anticipate changes in it? Further does society make the best use of them? Should intelligent people accept more responsibility than those less endowed? With technological and sociological advances creating a greater demand for able people, should the nurturing of intelligent people be accented?
Mensa further provides volunteers for bona fide research workers who need a high I.Q. group. Membership is now statistically significant and has been made available as a sample to leading universities in the United States and England. Researchers and scholarship applicants should contact Dr. Max L. Fogel, Sumneytown Pike, Gwynedd, PA 19436, Mensa's Director of Science and Education and Director of MERF.
