MENSA

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

I'd never put it on a resume. Just like I'd never list membership in the Freemasons or church affiliation.

Keep it to the basics.

I don't think it's out of line to put professional-related involvement. (For example, I list my SABR activities, some of which coincide with actual work experience (published articles, etc.)) While I don't think Eagle Scout is relevant to professional expertise in this industry, per se, I could be swayed by arguments otherwise.

And I would definitely distinguish between Eagle Scout and, say, church membership when it comes to non-professional involvement.

I'd put my FWAA membership and years as a Heisman elector on a resume before I'd put Mensa.

Now you're just name-dropping.

Hey, it's not like I mentioned my years voting for the Ray Guy Award.
