The '''Mensa retest''', a test that purportedly verifies the eligibility of a Mensan for continued membership, has sometimes been referred to humorously within Mensa in response to a Mensan doing something allegedly showing sub-Mensan intelligence. Sometimes it is used as self-deprecating humor by Mensans commenting on their own less-intelligent actions. [[Abbie Salny]] has given a popular talk on "Dumb Things Smart People Do" at many Mensa gatherings, but did not conduct retests even while she was the [[Supervisory Psychologist]] of American and International Mensa; no such thing has ever existed. Qualifying for Mensa, by internal testing or outside evidence, lasts for life, no matter how much your brain may have deteriorated since!
