I took the tests a few years ago and never ended up joining. The dumb thing is that they don't tell you your scores, just if one of them was high enough. So if someone is in mensa, they do have an IQ in the 130's or higher, to as accurate a degree as an arbitrary thing like IQ can be measured. 3. Avalon1347. I heard some people say Norway is pretty at determining sub-130 IQ results, and it might be the same for the other Mensa tests. Hence, I don’t think you can deduct an accurate IQ score from these results. I’d say your IQ realistically lies between 100 and 130, without any certainty about a more accurate score. Kashe Quest is a typical 2-year-old, but she is also a member of Mensa, a club for those with high IQ. A Los Angeles toddler has become the youngest American member of Mensa, where membership is MENSA is a club dedicated to declaring yourself high IQ and separating yourself from "low IQ" people who are ostensibly not allowed to join. Even if they dissemble on that point, the foundation of it is clear, and when the foundation is based on elitism, you unsurprisingly end up with a lot of elitism. Mensa doesn't just use standard IQ tests for admission, we actually accept a wide range of tests. You may not believe in the validity of a particular test (or of the IQ metric in general), and many Mensans would likely agree with you. In my own opinion, standardized testing isn't a sure-fire way to determine someone's intellectual prowess. And if you want to put your own mind to the test, here are some brain games, brain teasers, and a Mensa IQ test to get you started. REX/Shutterstock Jacob Barnett: IQ 170 working memory can be cheated with mnemonics or just practice on the tests that they use. IQ tests are useful if they are novel to the one taking them. That usually can be done even for people who do have experience with them. 3. olenpeikko. edit: apparently mensa level varies. "Mensa's requirement for membership is a score at or above the 98th percentile on certain standardised IQ or other approved intelligence tests, such as the Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scales. The minimum accepted score on the Stanford–Binet is 132, while for the Cattell it is 148." It’s not, and you could easily be prejudicing yourself against a very bright and motivated candidate.” If you are not already in Mensa, think of this foregoing blizzard of opinions as your own personal, mini-IQ test. Who’s right? Time allowed to answer: 3 minutes or your lunch break. …whichever is longer. Â Mensa is the society for people with high IQs, which it defines as those who score in the top 2 per cent of intelligence tests. If you breeze through these puzzles, consider yourself a clever 63c8Pe.
