To be accepted as a member is to have an IQ in top...

Hello all.

Once when I was in Ireland I saw a kind of really bizzare sentence to me.

- To be accepted as a member is to have an IQ in top...

Do you use this kind of "structure" often? Is it colloquial? Because I would use something like "requires/means" instead of "is".


Thank you.

(Also, again as far as I can tell without seeing the completion of the sentence, it should presumably say "an IQ in the top ...".)

Not nearly as bizarre as providing us an incomplete sentence.
