    It's not even a real IQ test, there is no time limit on each question. I got 125.

    Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
    Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean

    I still haven't sent off my MENSA test. I really should get round to it!
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    both russ & trash man are correct.

    a typical IQ test relies on verbal reasoning - the ability to manipulate arbitrary spatial concepts, recognise patterns, a touch of plain old basic math & literacy. as a test it's not awful - though the questions are quite far on the simplistic side, and the lack of time limit makes results meaningless.

    iq tests on the whole, if performed properly, can be valid (especially when performed at a young age before you can learn how to do well at these tests) in determining aptitude towards certain types of task. it has no bearing on, say, common sense (i've also seen some of the smartest people who have no grasp of reality), but i'd rather have a doctor operating on me who has a degree than who can't read the time on their watch.

    call me elitist if you will.

    a mensa test, if performed properly, says whether you have an iq of 130 or above (1 in 50 people do)

    138. Wouldn't mind knowing the answers though, because I would have thought I answered everything correctly. *shrugs*

    I did the home test, AFAIK its 130+ = top 2% although to actually become a member of mensa you are required to take a timed/supervised test which are held at various locations in the country.
