San Diego Mensa ("SDM") Password

  • If the password that you have is a bunch of gibberish, and not a real word, than that's your American Mensa ("AML") Password.  You're at the wrong place; click here to get to the right place.

  • If the password that you have is a real word, and not a bunch of gibberish, then that's your San Diego Mensa ("SDM") Password. You came to the right place. Click here ("SDM Access") to get your copy of the MENSAN.

Some members of San Diego Mensa have had a hard time finding their American Mensa ("AML") Password. This is reasonable, considering that it was mailed last March, in the cover letter with your membership card. For crying out loud! Who keeps the cover letter? You pitch it and keep the card, right?

So, San Diego Mensa set up a parallel system for the membership to get its copies of the MENSAN: a San Diego Mensa ("SDM") Password.

  • The SDM Password is a real word (unlike the American Mensa ("AML") Password, which is a string of gibberish).
  • It's also the same word for every local member (unlike the AML Password, which is different for every member, and which therefore requires that you also type in your AML membership number every time you use it). Your AML membership number is on the membership card that you saved, and is also on the mailing label for the MENSA Bulletin which AML snail-mails out ten times a year.

Once a year (after renewal season is over in the spring) San Diego Mensa sends out a new SDM Password to all members. Sometimes we do it more frequently. Typical send-out methods are:

  • snail-mail postcard;
  • inclusion in a snail-mail-it-to-everyone edition of the Gazette:
    • typically quarterly, in February, May, August, and November;
    • in other months, the Gazette goes out only to those who have subscribed to it:
      • sure, the print edition of the monthly Gazette is free to all local members; but
      • you still have to subscribe);
  • e-mail to everyone's e-mail address, as stated in the Directory (we try not to do this too often; it starts to look like spam); or
  • whatever.
