That's pretty neat. Got a smart friend who was interested in taking the test until he realized it wasn't free. He always says he's smarter than the folks in Mensa because he wasn't dumb enough to pay for bragging rights lol.
You used to be able to do the home tests for free (UK / Ireland in the late 1980s). They’d send out a pack, you do it in <30 minutes, then post it back. They’d send you back the results. Not supervised or anything, but free (just paid postage) & yes by Mensa headquarters in the UK.
The real test cost money so no, never did it. Was just curious & did two home tests spaced 18 months apart. 3 points difference between them.

I think that's what my friend did as well. He's got about a decade on me and says it was when he was a younger kid.
