pics of some Mensa members from Chicago:
...
Yeah they are smart, but I am not sure I'd want to be caught hanging with them...
I decided to take an I.Q. test administered by Mensa, the organization of geniuses. If you score in the top 2% of people who take that same test, you get to call yourself a 'genius' and optionally join the group. I squeaked in and immediately joined so I could hang out with the other geniuses and do genius things. I even volunteered to host some meetings at my apartment.
Then, the horror.
It turns out that the people who join Mensa and attend meetings are, on average, not successful titans of industry. They are instead - and I say this with great affection - huge losers. I was making $735 per month and I was like frickin' Goldfinger in this crowd. We had a guy who was some sort of poet who hoped to one day start "writing some of them down." We had people who were literally too smart to hold a job. The rest of the group dressed too much like street people to ever get past security for a job interview. And everyone was always available for meetings on weekend nights.
But the members were, as advertised, geniuses. Mensa meetings are the strangest experience. No one ever has to explain anything twice. That's a bigger deal than you might think. Your typical day is full of moments where you ask for a cup of coffee and someone hands you a bag of nails. You don't realize how much time you spend re-explaining things until you no longer need to. Mensa is very cool that way.
However, my Mensa experience served as a warning about trusting the judgments of people who might know how to, for example, make a helicopter from objects found lying around the house, but can't manage their own lives. Is it possible that good ol' common sense and traditional values are a better foundation for important life decisions, including politics?
btw, mensa is overrated, they keep annoying me with letters telling me to come have a beer.
It's 140 according to the official IQ test I had and 142 according to iqtest.com. I don't think I need to take any more IQ tests.
The last time I took an IQ test, I got an HIV+!
Yeah, I'm that smart.
118
Highest to lowest (on the individual scoring chart)
General Knowldege (90's)
Classification (90's)
Spatial (mid 80's)
Verbal (80's)
Visualization (75)
Pattern Recognition (75)
Logic (75 ish)
Short Term Memory (70's)
Mathematics (65 ish)
Test results are very disturbing . I always believed logic to be my biggest strength, with things like pattern recognition and spatial close after.
Yes, I am not very good at mafs, but
118 is pretty low too, isn't it?
repiV. Online tests, I think, don't mean much. Look, I swear. I just took the test over at iqtest.com and also scored a 142. Coincidence? Most likely they give people high scores because people who do well on an IQ test are more likely to pay for an intelligence report and certificate, and to recommend the test to their friends.
IQ tests merely test your ability to take IQ tests.
Last time I took an IQ test, I got 138 or 140. One of those.
But that doesn't mean anything. As said before, IQ tests mean nothing, hell, even actual tests don't prove anything. My friend got a D in Biology and got an A+ on the Midterm last year. The only thing retarded is our actual education system, making us ****ing dumber each second thanks to this No Child Left Behind bullshit. We are taught the very basics, but not enough to understand any of it. And we're also taught bullshit.
Oh, went on a rant. My b.
