And technically having an IQ that’s 2 or more standard deviations outside the norm makes you neurdivergent, by some definitions of the word. That means everyone who can get into Mensa can be considered neurodivergent by definition.
Heh, that’s a good take on Mensa. IQ tests at the higher difficulty questions, add some aspect of “lateral thinking” to spot a pattern, which is another way of saying “thinking out of the box”, or a type of neurodivergence.
I wonder how far they would walk that comment back when they learn how common high intelligence is among people who are neurodivergent.
The real reason they said high IQ probably lies in the fact that it’s an incredibly biased test, with Black and Hispanic students performing worse compared to White and Asian students
