Mensa has three purposes, which are outlined in its constitution. They are:

1. To identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity.

2. To encourage research into the nature, characteristics, and uses of intelligence.

3. To provide a stimulating intellectual and social environment for its members.

Actually, what we really like to do is get together, eat, drink, talk, and have fun!
