"23. X12. 4 years ago Jane was 8, Sam was 4. In 4 years from now, Jane will be 16 and Sam will be 12."

i put in jane was 4 and sam was 2, so 4 years on they're 8 and 6... still 75%... dumbasses

Exactly! God they have no flexibility!

How do you take the actual MENSA test?

'Your score was 21 out of 30. That is a very good score—you would have a good chance of passing the Mensa test.'

So you don't like universities? You have to prove you're worthy of and able to join them. But seriously, with MENSA, these are people who wish to meet to discuss things academically etc. What would be the point in meeting up with a lot of other people who didn't know what they were talking about?

BTW I'm not a member of MENSA and I'm sure I would not be able to be.

But anyway, people who join mensa are usually full of themselves I'd rather cut my fingers off then join them.

There are a few people like that, and it's a sad thing. But most of the people I know through MENSA are wonderful friendly people and very humble too - most of them don't really understand how they got in, since they don't consider themselves to be smarter than anyone else. It's a shame that MENSA gets a bad rap for being an elitist organisation. It's actually full of amazingly interesting people from a vast variety of backgrounds, with some really fascinating opinions and ideas to share and debate.

I'm sure there are some wonderful people there, but at the end of the day you have a group of people who consider themselves smarter/better then everyone else - correct me if I am wrong here, but mensa people honestly think they are smarter then others.

Any group that refuses admitance because they have a differing opinion on something whether it be intellegence, race, sex can go screw themselves.

I know thats prolly a bit strong but frankly how could anyone get any enjoyment from joining a club where you are all pretty much the same - sure they come from different places but even when they are disagreeing they have already agreed on many base principals. Heck if you wanna hang out with some interesting people why not try an org that doesn't have "w*ker" written on it's forhead I.E. Scouts, Freemason, Rotary, WorldVision, Sea Shepphards (just examples)

.. Anyone here figured out I don't like anything to do with MENSA yet?

And, what does that all have to do with MENSA? So far as I know, the only qualification to join is high intelligence. The only thing they would have in common is high intelligence and wanting to join. No particular opinion on anything required. No one is refused admission because of their opinion about intelligence (or anything else). Do you have any evidence to the contrary?

--why would it think its a bad day? have had a good day,just crap at academic stuff.

It's a social thing; they don't want you to think you're stupid because most people think IQ is the same as intelligence.

Sorry if I answered a rhetorical question! But I think sometimes MENSA doesn't think too hard about people who aren't good at academics...

thanks Callista.
