We often talk about reaching our potential.

Less often about the pressure that can come from feeling we need to live up to it.

This idea is explored in an article by leadership coach Bruno Marques, featured in IQ, Mensa's member magazine (September/October 2025), which reflects on the relationship between intelligence, achievement and self-worth.

How do you balance ambition with self-acceptance?

For many members, Mensa isn't just about intelligence. It's about finding people who understand the way you think.

People often assume chess is about seeing everything.

In reality, according to chess coach Bruce Pandolfini, a good player discards more than 99% of the possibilities and focuses on the few that matter most.

It's a reminder that good thinking isn't always about processing more information. Sometimes it's about knowing what to ignore.

This insight comes from an article featured in IQ, Mensa's member magazine (May/June 2025).

Do you think chess is more of an art or a science? ♟️

Four months from now, Mensa turns 80.

Across eight decades, some things have remained at the heart of the organisation: curiosity, challenge, discovery and connection.

The world may look very different to 1946, but the desire to explore ideas, stretch our thinking and connect with curious minds still feels as relevant as ever.
