"most people could get into mensa if they studied for the tests..."
This is untrue. The test is a measure of reasoning ability, not of knowledge. They take the top 2% so it is impossible for everyone to get in.
It is also not a predictor of how well a person will do in life. Success is *much* more dependent on hard work, the ability to get along with others - and a bit of luck.
