Mensa Test

16/30

Failed mostly on the languaje test... english is not my main languaje so that possed a problem :(
 
I got 18/30 drunk out of my mind and full of BBQ last night. I'll have to try again in better shape today sometime. It was hard to focus on the scrambled letters, and I was skipping around and forgot to check one of them I knew.

Same here. I fell for two dirty tricks (although one of them I really shouldn't have, as my answer clearly produced hyphenated words) and gave up looking for the anagram of INSATIABLE. Having seen the answer, I never would have got it :D
 
I've never found these web tests reliable. Go do an actual mensa test. I did one a couple years ago for like $25. I think it took 3 hours to complete. Interesting to see which walks of life mensa hopefuls come from. Pretty diverse.

If/ when you pass the test, you are considered to have an IQ of 130 and up (they don't give you an actual IQ score anymore like they used to) and are supposedly in the 98 percentile in terms of intelligence.

They still send me pamphlets several times a year to pay for membership and join their society. Somehow, I can't get myself to go to a social function merely based off the attendees' intelligence.

Amen. Based on the few people I ever knew who joined, those gatherings would be the very definition of boredom.
 
not boring when you spike the punch with some "fun stuff"

Not that I advocate doing that it's just fun to imagine "those types" wigging the heck out lol.
 
Just so you guys know you can take the mensa test only once in your life. :eek:

Well, beats joining a typical 'social function' based off the attendees' lack of IQ, though, no?

I got 28/30... Though I am still shaking my head at myself that although I got 'parachute' correct, I actually came up with 'uteachrap' first...

It's funny though how the human mind is... These tests don't seem to be much of a challenge, then I hit the word scramble, and I absolutely cringe... Although a word scramble does take knowledge of a language, not just a test of logic...

It's not an intelligence test, it's a pure logic test. Useful if you don't have to deal with a world that is purely logical and completely understood... oh wait, we don't understand anything to that degree beyond simple arithmetic, geometry, linguistics and patterns. The problem is that's not how shit works, which renders the test nothing more than a useful way to waste time.
