I got 28/30 right
The questions I failed at miserably were the ones in which I had to unscramble the words.

Mensa will never have to worry about saving me a seat...

I got 26/30 and, 'though that's a good enough score, I could kick myself for the mistakes I made. However, I'm already in MENSA so it doesn't really matter. The MENSA exam isn't actually very difficult at all - it just relies on having a certain type of problem-solving mind.

Your score was 4 out of 30. If you had a bad day, try again.
--why would it think its a bad day? have had a good day,just crap at academic stuff.

I was wondering; what is discussed at MENSA meetings? I have always wanted to know... I may order the practice MENSA test first and afterwards try my luck at the real thing.

I took that quiz and got 3 wrong. Two were the ones where you have to make a word from a jumble of letters or another word. I'm not good at that and didn't even answer them. Had I tried to, I'd've gone past the half hour time limit.

The other one was ambiguously worded. And I answered by the wrong interpretation.

Your score was 17 out of 30.

23/30... Plus when I had my testing done, I just fell sort of qualifying for mensa.... top 4%.... not top 2.

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...

I did 4 times better than I thought I would.

I got 26! Only missed #s 1, 15, 19, and 28.

Your score was 28 out of 30.

I recon they are wrong on there chicken proverb too.

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

All sorts of things. There are lots of Special Interest Groups ranging from hobbies to languages to research to careers... If you're into something, there's almost certain to be a SIG for it. Plus they have loads of games and pub quizzes and social meet-ups. I don't tend to go to them, but they're there.



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?

21 out of 30 but i missed 3 questions... and i got jibbed on number 23

"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
