And technically having an IQ that's 2 or more standard deviations outside the norm makes you neurodivergent, by some definitions of the word. That means everyone who can get into Mensa can be considered neurodivergent by definition.

Heh, that's a good take on Mensa. IQ tests at the higher difficulty questions, add some aspect of "lateral thinking" to spot a pattern, which is another way of saying "thinking out of the box", or a type of neurodivergence.
