Comment on Ask HN: Should I list Mensa on my resume?

Comments

I'm in the exact same boat. Non-active, former member. In my experience, while I've never listed it on my resume, the few times it's ever come up, from interviews to casual conversation, it's only served to bias folks against me.

This experience is only anecdotal, and there may be a case where such membership is valued (e.g., Google, maybe?), but it's never been a positive benefit for me.
