Abstract
The labourforce status of members of AmericanMensa a high IQ group is examined. Comparedwith a general US sample, the Mensans labourforceparticipation rate was found to be higher,while the percentage not in the labourforce waslower. Multinomial logit estimation indicates thatdemographic variables have greater influence onthe odds of individuals being in the variouslabourforce categories for the general US samplethan for Mensans. Differences in labourforcepatterns for Mensans versus the US sample aredue more to differences in characteristics than tounderlying behavioural differences.
