did you do the test by post first mate?

Some guy who works with my mate was braggin that he got 139 on the MENSA test by post so my mate did it and he got 155 which is in the top 0.1% or 0.01 or something anyway he was giving it large and I was telling him I could beat it so he said that if he paid the 10er for me to get it marked, I should do it.

Anyway i got mine back and it was 155 as well, are we just equally geniuses or is it a proper jip? He was all up for joining MENSA until I got mine back, now he's convinced he's been scammed.

He can't have done it by post, cos he was laughing that the guy next to him was testing his pencil :confused:
 
I was a member of Mensa years ago - found it pretty worthless tbh so cancelled my membership after a couple of years.

Plus I found most members to be egotistical and conceited.

those mensa tests are purposely easy - if they weren't they would never get any money.
i and everybody i know would take mensa membership as proof you are stupid, ironically.
 
You just joined a cult well done. Seriously Mensa is so 90's.

Defo put it on your CV and apply for a job where I can see the HRs reaction :)

This was a suspicion of mine that I've had all through the process of registering and taking the test etc.

I fully expected members to think themselves above others...

Ideally need to formulate a double-blind test, with no money involved. With no benefit to testing body to pass candidates, then a more reliable result is likely.
 
Judging by this thread, your name, your signature and your attitude in later posts, you clearly have quite a fond affection for yourself.

Perhaps you can use your massive mensa IQ to make a clone and then you can go **** yourself.

Are you implying you don't like who you are? :rolleyes:

Such a personal attack, for what have I done to you? :confused:
 
So what advantages do you get from membership of Mensa?

Well, first and foremost you get the pride of knowing that you have a high IQ, no matter what qualifications (or lack there-of) you have on your CV. The feeling of personal achievement is probably the most immediate and confidence-boosting advantage you will receive. However, Mensa is a world-wide organisation. It has Special Interest Groups (SIGs) who meet regularly and provide regular newsletters. There are SIGs covering such diverse interests as Languages, Competitions, the Supernatural, Camping, LGBT, Collectors and many more. Membership gets you access to these SIGs.

There are many meetings of Mensa members across the globe. Meetings aren't dry stuffy meetings held in dusty backrooms of libraries. They are events such as 'eating meetings' held in restaurants, camping weekends, theatre trips and as much else as you can imagine.

There are members across the world who will offer accommodation and services to travellers and of course there is the monthly magazine. Contributions are welcomed to the magazine from members on a variety of subjects, so that gives a platform for intelligent debate.

One quick google and it gives you the benfits of joining :rolleyes:

Can't wait for the next "Collectors" meeting. :D
 
I have another problem. To join Mensa you must have an IQ in the top 2% of the world, right?

Surely that changes all the time if the population slowly dumbs down or smartens up?

And anybody know roughly just how many people in the world fall within the top 2%?
