Mensa Home Test Free (normally $18)

How smart is it when you have high IQs yet you make an offer that creates a DOS on your website. self inflicted! that's gotta hurt.

I've always been amused by Mensa.

10 extra Mensa points for anyone who looks up its Spanish (mex) translation.

Where's the fun in that?

(BTW, if you're a guy, it's "menso")

It's table. Or at least Wiki says so.

Mensa (pron.: /ˈmɛnsə/; Latin: [ˈmensa]) means "table" in Latin, as is symbolized in the organization's logo, and was chosen to demonstrate the round-table nature of the organization; the coming together of equals.
That would be Latin, not Spanish.

Thanks OP!

The person who was in the Guinness Book for having the highest IQ now works in a government unemployment office.

One kid who was pushed into college at age 13 by his father rebelled, went back to high school, and works as a house painting estimator. His father had a SWAT team situation.

Hmm, thank you to everyone that shared actual feedback on Mensa. I always wondered if I was missing something, and now I'm glad I never joined. Automatically qualified with my standardized test scores (you don't actually have to take the Mensa test), but never felt like it was worth the dues.

TIL: John McAfee, Asia Carrera, and Norman Schwartzkopf Jr, are all members of Mensa.

You scored a 64 on the Mensa Home Test.

Scores between 63 and 70 from the online test are above the 86th percentile and indicate an approximate IQ range between 116 and 125. This high score indicates a strong possibility that you may qualify for membership in Mensa!

I don't agree with Mensa IQ testing. I grew up in the country and while I'm a very good writer, my vocabulary isn't that great. I probably ask my wife once per month what a word she said means! I just took this test and was very confident with most of my answers. However, the vocabulary absolutely killed me. Does it make me any less intelligent that I don't know word relationships for words I've never even heard of? I can multiply and divide in my head like no one else I've ever met but because I don't know the meaning of a word that no one ever uses I'm less intelligent? Pffft. 4.0 through high school without studying, 32 ACT in 10th grade (never took it again) and was always in the top 99th percentile for standardized testing. I was even off the chart on the ASVAB coding and math sections. I guess what I'm getting at is take these results with a grain of salt!

Anywho, thanks for the link OP!

I remember the ceiling of the mensa test was somewhere around 130. Neither this, nor the actual mensa test are real IQ tests, and mensa is a waste of $. Should be banned from FWF for paying to get in ... I guess as long as you're all okay with that, feel free to have fun!

What kind of law do you practice?

I bailed after 1L when it was pretty evident the law bubble was about to burst. I was in bottom half of my class, hated it.

which bschool did you attend?
No MCAT score/medschool?

Could be a lot of people are scoring low and just not publicizing their results. Doesn't take a Mensa member to realize that those who score Genius are more likely to brag about it.

Is it just me or does it seem like no one in Mensa has decent artistic skills?

Dang .. I am a failure .. I only scored 62 !!!!!

I failed 90% of the questions but in the other info section I wrote..."I drive an Impala"...then it appeared my computer froze but the Mensa site said "Wait patiently, recalculating results" and about a minute later my monitor showed stars and confetti flying down it said "Thank You for taking our specialized genius test, you are a full-fledged Genius!" I've never felt so good in my life. This is an amazing feeling!! WOOOOOOOOOOOWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

But that only apples if those electroniks are Bose brand.

Wife interrupted me during the first section, only got to answer 18 out of 22 questions before timer expired. Finished the other sections without interruption and got a 67 score. Not to shabby. Hee hee. As long as I am average or better, I'm satisfied.

We knew that. We are mensa.
