I wouldn't mix Muslims and Christians, so no clash. I would avoid presenting it as elitism, which should solve that. The test is to play the game of go at a basic level, see the site. I let my Mensa membership expire after I was banned from their forum for being too politically incorrect. They seem like mostly a liberal bunch. The game of go is a better test than just IQ because it tests a variety of useful traits. Of course you can join if you pass the 2 tests, please see the site. You can also join the Old Testament reading for some tolerable conversation.

I will have a look when time permits it. I'm not familiar with the Chinese game of Go. If there's a bit of a learning curve involved, it would be a bit arbitrary to use that as an assessment tool. The rules of chess, for example, are fairly easy to learn. Strategies, specific moves, anticipating and countering the opponent's play take a while to master. That being said, I'm not a great chess player but I excel at Scrabble. Anyway, I'll try to further my knowledge of Go...
