iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — The smartest of the smart are looking for love in all the right places. In this case, it’s on Mensa Match, a new service by the dating website Match.com.
Mensa bills itself as “the high IQ society that provides a forum for intellectual exchange among its members.” Members have to be in the 98th percentile of IQ to join.
So with a Match.com survey finding that an overwhelming majority of Americans want to date their intellectual equal or superior, it would only make sense to provide a dating service for those whose smarts are off the chart.
Match’s chief scientific advisor Dr. Helen Fisher says that “Intelligence is correlated with many benefits, including higher income, sense of humor, creativity, social skills, coordination and problem solving.”
Match.com members who want to give Mensa Match a whirl but who aren’t sure they qualify can take the society’s admission test for a buck through July 6.
