Title: Mensa IQ test
Post by: Samwise on September 27, 2002, 12:53:32 PM: I\'m taking an IQ test arranged by Mensa tomorrow, and so to warm up I did a test at their Danish website - http://www.mensa.dk/test_din_iq.html. Then I got an idea... it could be fun if you guys took the very same test so we could compare scores. Don\'t worry about it being Danish - it\'s a cultural fair test (shapes and symbols).

Just click on the link and press \'start testen\' at the bottom of the screen. You have 40 mins to choose the right symbol in each of the 40 tests (1 min for each ;)). When you\'re done press \'menu\' and \'send\'. Viola, the number that comes up is your IQ. :)

If you get an above average you should take a screenshot to proove it. Good luck! :D

Title: Mensa IQ test
Post by: theomen on September 27, 2002, 01:11:27 PM: Too lazy to take it right now, but I have taken numerous online tests, and two full fledged in person and observed IQ tests, and my average is around 170 something. The online tests are surprisingly close to the results I\'ve gotten from the "real" tests. I used to have a little certificate from one of the "real" tests, and I probably still have it, just don\'t know where it is.

Anyways, best of luck Sammy. BTW has Mensa lowered it\'s IQ requirments, I heard from someone that it\'s down to like 140 now, any truth in this? I hope it\'s false, because hell if they lower it much more it won\'t have the same prestige it once had.

Hmm... I just relized that if they had spelling on the IQ tests I would have come out as being retarded.
Title: Mensa IQ test
Post by: Samwise on September 27, 2002, 01:12:59 PM: The requirements are 148. BTW, you DON\'T NEED TO UNDERSTAND Danish to take this test. I thought I made that clear. :)

Just follow my little guide and there shouldn\'t be a problem at all.

BTW, most IQ tests on the Internet are useless... they\'re just entertainment. This isn\'t the \'real\' one that Mensa uses either, but it\'s an indicator of where you are.

BTW 2 - if you have an IQ of 170 you\'re like in the 99.99th percentile... Theomen, you\'re a genious.

EDIT: The scale says "very low - low - normal - high - Mensa level"
Title: Mensa IQ test
Post by: Soul Reaver on September 27, 2002, 01:32:35 PM: I got 103 when I somewhat tried. (It gets really tedious looking at the screen)

I\'ll try it again and pick anything at random. :)
Title: Mensa IQ test
Post by: theomen on September 27, 2002, 01:37:00 PM: i did the same as soul reaver, for the first 10 or 15 questions I took it seriously, but then quickly became bored with it, and blew the rest of it. good news is I finished in under 6 minutes with 130 something. Nothing to write home to mommy about, but still kinda cool, considering I blindly answered 2/3\'s of the questions in about 4 seconds each :)

That happened with me, the last 7 or 8 questions, I just clicked on anything. I ended up with 118, but maybe if I had took it seriousley at the end, I might have got higher.

Post by: Dolbytone on September 27, 2002, 02:33:38 PM: Took the test last year. Not the Danish one mind you, but the online MENSA test. I\'m not compelled to share the results though. To me, it\'s like telling everyone how much money you make, which is sort of a social no-no.
Title: Mensa IQ test
Post by: Soul Reaver on September 27, 2002, 02:40:38 PM: Yea, but most people just don\'t try by the last 29 Questions. So, it really doesn\'t tell you your true intelligence.

Oh yea, for you people who are scared of taking this test, just remember that you still have you "street smarts." :p
Title: Mensa IQ test
Post by: shockwaves on September 27, 2002, 02:43:20 PM: Well, I was taking it seriously...then I had to go eat dinner :(

I just rushed through the end, taking maybe 5-10 seconds on the last few. I got 160.
Title: Mensa IQ test
Post by: Jumpman on September 27, 2002, 02:49:46 PM: Damn, I got 92, and I got bored and started picking random ones at around 18-20...Lucky guesses towards the end methinks...

EDIT-Took it again, taking it more seriously(still could of done better, I only used up around 7 minutes), 118. Damn those last ones were downright crazy. That wasn\'t really a good IQ test too as it only focused on patterns which I suck at therefore it sucks. ;)

Or maybe lower.

That\'s the thing about IQ tests. As long as you \'guess\' an answer, the test will never be accurate.

Not that they are all that accurate anyway.

Post by: luckee on September 27, 2002, 10:11:58 PM: I got this after taking the test once and basically choosing whatever for the last 5-7 questions. Maybe I got some of those correct ;)..anywho..here it is. Not sure what a "103" is worth, then again, I didnt try tooo hard. I know Im far from genius..but Im happy in life :)

Title: Mensa IQ test
Post by: Bobs_Hardware on September 27, 2002, 11:46:46 PM: 103 means you\'re smarter than 50% of the population (basically)

100 is the \'average\' mark. What the average person is. 49% of people are smarter than you, 49% are dumber than you.

But internet IQ tests are pretty bogus, even if it is set up by Mensa. :)

So you got a low score, eh. ;)

Nah, true that. "Rushing through" isn\'t all that smart either. :nerd:

Well, here ya go fellas:

Post by: mjps21983 on September 27, 2002, 11:57:57 PM: I got a 127, basically answering the last 5-10 by guessing, as after awhile like most noticed it became irritating looking at the screen.
Title: Mensa IQ test
Post by: luckee on September 27, 2002, 11:58:01 PM: It may not have been smart, but at the current time, I didn\'t feel like trying too hard. Would be funny if I took my time instead of 7-10 minutes and got a lower score..rofl...

Title: Mensa IQ test
Post by: ##RaCeR## on September 28, 2002, 04:29:22 AM: I got 126.
Title: Mensa IQ test
Post by: Samwise on September 28, 2002, 04:37:19 AM: The 24 has something to do with comparing to other tests. If you click the 15/16 you\'ll get another meassurement (i.e. your IQ is \'lower\' but so is the requirement to join Mensa - so basically it\'s just to compare with other tests).

I took the Mensa test today btw! It could only measure up to 136 though (which would explain why it was so easy ;)). Hopefully I\'ll get the results soon.

Sammy, anything over 120 means you\'re one smart cookie. Anything over 140 means you\'re a genius.
Title: Mensa IQ test

Post by: shockwaves on September 28, 2002, 07:23:20 PM: Well, I\'m doing it again now. So far, I\'ve done the first 33, and am sure that I got them all. Just a matter of finding the pattern in them.

It is possible I messed some up, but I only found 3 that I didn\'t see a pattern in. I gave up on the last one, with about 23 minutes remaining.

Did I win?

Actually I got that too. ;)

I\'m just surprised of how many of you can\'t even go through 40 screens without whining about it being boring, or your eyes hurt, or getting the cramps. Just because you can use 40 mins doesn\'t mean you have to.

BTW Vapor Snake, the last ones are the hard ones, so guessing them is probably what you would be doing anyway. :laughing: :p

Post by: MPTheory on September 29, 2002, 07:42:58 PM: I got a 124. I think there was only 1 that I just picked randomly because I didnt see a pattern. I was a little unsure about the last 2.
