Andrej Grgić, a 33-year-old member of Mensa Croatia, has shared insights into life with an IQ exceeding 130. To join Mensa, individuals must score in the 98th percentile or higher on a visual pattern-recognition test that does not depend on formal education or mathematical background.
Grgić, who volunteers with the Kustošija voluntary fire department, noted that high intelligence does not serve as a shield against poor decision-making. He described Mensa as a community of people sharing a specific trait rather than a group with identical interests, noting that social gatherings are often informal.
Beyond personal experiences, Grgić addressed social concerns, including the need for greater empathy and the environmental issue of approximately 800 caves in Croatia being filled with trash. He also touched upon the distinction between human and artificial intelligence.
