"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Even if Mensa/IQ were a reliable measure of intelligence, it ignores that people can be incredibly intelligent and foward-thinking in one or many areas while also being not-that-strong in others, as well as we all have biases and blind spots.
The whole concept is bullshit. It is a nice thing to understand why certain tasks are easier to manage. As an autistic person, it was very interesting to get a detailed analysis which showed that I am in fact peaking the test in some areas while others are average.
That led me to pursue hobbies and jobs that focus on these strengths. As always, there is no ethical consumption and I am forced to live in this situation. I do however fully accept that the concept is utter crap in terms of "intelligence" and the hype.
I think only the very extreme would judge you for surviving.
