Thread: Mensa

  1. #1

    Mensa

    Has anybody on here ever been a member? I passed the test, but they want £55 a year subscription, and I'm not really sure if it will be my thing.

    Look at me, look at me!

    You're gonna tell us next that you've been very successful in business and are generally considered quite good looking.

    To borrow a phrase from Sludge, are there any dirty rotters there? You know, the Carol Vorderman type.

    I've always wanted to take the test but never gone through with it (In the awful realisation that although I think of myself as intelligent I may actually be quite thick)

    Everyone passes so they've got a chance of taking £55 a year off people

    I don't think it's about intelligence, it more about a person's hardwired ability to deal with a particular type of question. I'm predisposed towards maths, music and computing, so logic, patterns, puzzles, etc. I've always done better in IQ tests compared with written exams, possibly because I did the least amount of work in order to pass

    Besides, Margaret Thatcher and Jimmy Savile are past members of Mensa, so read into that what you will!

    There's a test on their website, it's unspeakably easy, I know because:-

    Mensa Quiz - Results

    Your score: 100%!

    You took the "British Mensa's Online Workout" quiz and were awarded 18/18 marks

    A top score! Excellent! You could achieve a high IQ score if you took a Mensa Supervised IQ test.

    I designed that test back in the day so you did well to score so highly. Might be a few mistakes in there though, as I was having sex with 200 women while I was working on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    They are standard tests as used by schools and employers.

    To be honest Mensa is all a bit common.

    But funnily enough I have been wondering whether to maintain my membership of The Prometheus Society after all these years.
