131+ according to the swedish Mensa page. But this is what it says on the international page:

How do I qualify for Mensa?

Membership in Mensa is open to persons who have attained a score within the upper two percent of the general population on an approved intelligence test that has been properly administered and supervised. There is no other qualification or disqualification for membership eligibility.

The term "IQ score" is widely used but poorly defined. There are a large number of tests with different scales. The result on one test of 132 can be the same as a score 148 on another test. Some intelligence tests don't use IQ scores at all. Mensa has set a percentile as cutoff to avoid this confusion. Candidates for membership in Mensa must achieve a score at or above the 98th percentile (a score that is greater than or equal to 98 percent of the general population taking the test) on a standard test of intelligence.

Generally, there are two ways to prove that you qualify for Mensa: either take the Mensa test, or submit a qualifying test score from another test. There are a large number of intelligence tests that are "approved". More information on whether a test you have taken is approved, as well as information on the procedure for taking the Mensa test, can be obtained from the nearest Mensa office. There are no on-line tests that can be used for admission to Mensa. Feel free to contact Mensa for specific details about eligibility.

Mensa has no other eligibility requirements other than IQ testing. However, many tests are not valid for people under the age of 16. You should contact the nearest Mensa office for more information.

..but aparently 131+ is the same as being one of the 2% population.

Thats realy not bleeding, if that would be bleeding then all your vains in the body would be constantly be bleeding as blood goes through them. But they realy arent, to say its bleeding it should realy be some damage that lets the blood out where its not suppose to come out.

the heart being a vascular pump actually feeds itself with blood through the system of veins and arteries... the issue if the heart is pierced, torn or cut to make it bleed is that it has to work harder to pump the blood around but lacks the pressure of the system... the blood leaking from a heart will fill the cavities of the abdomen and the brain will suffer from a lack of oxygen and the body will feint... from there the heart will carry on pumping until there is nothing left to pump and there is no energy left in the body to pump the heart... resulting in death... so a bleeding heart is quite bad...

Now before you medical peeps out there pan what I put... its a guess at what might happen if the heart is caused to bleed.
