Thanatos340 1 #52 January 10, 2006 http://www.mensa.org/workout2.php? Here is a Good test but it does not give an actual score. Just lets you know if stand a chance of qualifying for MENSA. And I agree that a person can have a High IQ and still be an Idiot. I joined MENSA in College, I never met a group of people completely lacking so much common sense (Until I started Skydiving ).

I was given to believe that minimum IQ for joining MENSA is 140. Is that not so? I have passed the various MENSA tests (generally test excerpts from one magazine or another, not a professionally administered test) I've run across through the years, but the only members I know personally are both annoying and weird.

Thanatos340 1 #57 January 10, 2006 QuotePresent company excepted of course. No.. Not really. Quoteboth annoying and weird I Still qualify!! The requirement is that you score in the top 2% (98th percentile) of whatever test you take. MENSA recognizes many different test but they do not share the same scale. There is no set IQ number as different test have different ranges. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmanpilot 0 #58 January 10, 2006 9(140)/7(120)/9.5(140-155) Those are for a long-term mate. When you get into the upper genius ranges(10+), there seems to be a functional diminishing rate of return.

Jumpah 0 #68 January 10, 2006 From their website: QuoteMembership 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.

livendive 8 #69 January 10, 2006 QuoteQuoteSo... if 100 is the average on the IQ test, what can we correlate to this IQ range? I know my Stanford-Binet score as well as my range on other professionally designed intelligence tests. Using that, I tried to figure out the answer to this question last night as I was going to sleep. I couldn't make it work. And although I was the one who proposed this question, I find I cannot answer it the way it has been posed. The easy way is to just go with percentile of the population. QuoteMy personal theory is that without EQ, IQ doesn't doesn't help one much. There are plenty of brilliant, unsuccessful people in the world. Every day thou daffest me with some device...

Perhaps it's just me, but most ridiculously intelligent people, I find, are quite screwed up in one or many other arenas I had a *friend* whose family member had a photographic memory and thus scored insanely high on all tests. He was also a raging alchoholic and mild child abuser. I think perfection is boring anyways.

I belong to enough self-selected groups of oddballs already. Read The Know-It All for a fun take on intelligence vs. knowledge. The author decides to read the Encyclopedia Brittanica cover to cover. He does a lot of little side things, too, like interviewing people in Mensa, interviewing people with off-the-charts IQs, etc. Lots of fun (and a peek into the lives of Mensans).

Thanatos340 1 #75 January 10, 2006 I was was walking across campus one day when a MENSA Member rides up on a shiny new Bicycle. "Where did you get such a great bike?" I asked. They replied "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said 'Take what you want.'" I nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit." (OK. So it is really an Engineer Joke.. But it still works!!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
