Maybe JD would be in the top .001% if he knew there was no difference between the top 99.8th percentile or the top .2 percent!.

Well, I just took it and got 27 of 30, missing the petal question, the parachute question, and the damn overlapping squares question. Really shouldn't have missed those, but I was overconfident since ExNyer got 90%, I figured it was easy.

I have an idea, why don't we all take the real Mensa qualifying test battery and post the results. Then the discussion is finished and the crying can begin.

Too funny that you guys get worked up about an online test...I remember about 10 years ago how impressed an office assistant where I worked was about the 140 she scored on an online IQ test. She wasn't dumb, but she wasn't smart. Those garbage tests aren't even worth clicking on to take. But it gave her confidence, so good for her. And I hope she still believes she has a 140 IQ from that test. She was a very nice lady with low confidence and I hope that score improved her confidence and then some.
You want to figure out your intelligence and how you compare to others, go by standardized tests that take more than 30 minutes like: SAT, ACT, GMAT, GRE LSAT, MCAT or whatever standard measure of intelligence to test yourself that accredited institutions require for admission...I highly doubt this stupid ass test is one of them though. And I must admit, I didn't take this online test because what's the point? I've taken enough tests for my degrees already. I already know where I stack up in intelligence with the colleges I've graduated from....If you don't, keep taking those online tests

+1. As I said, the quiz isn't an IQ test, it is intended (by MENSA) to be entertainment.

For once we agree. This test was not an IQ test, or in any way comparable to the SAT, ACT, GRE, etc. I simply found it a fun test to take and also found it interesting to see how others scored on it. Is such a test used for admittance into Mensa? I don't know and I don't care since getting into Mensa is not on my bucket-list.

I'm already a member, based upon my SAT scores from a very long time ago. I assume you are, also?

Come on dude, you're claiming Mensa over the internet because of your SAT scores from what, 30 years ago? You don't seem very smart to me. And your insecurity proves it. You make a fake trip to Tel Aviv, and you're back in two seconds. You may be a lot of things, but smart is not one of them.

The real entertainment is watching you and Barleycorn come unglued when your blatant dishonesty is exposed. If you two clueless buffoons weren't noisily in everybody's face with all the fatuous threads and blanket insults, people might not ridicule you so much. Got it?

Since the linked test is so short, it looks to me like it's simply intended to be a "sampler plate" so that interested individuals can make a little practice run. In any event, I doubt that many people actually take their unabridged test. Mensa and other similar societies accept SAT, GRE, and LSAT scores, as well as those achieved on other bona fide, comprehensive tests.
@Barleycorn & Whirlaway: Please keep up the entertainment!

Just curious to everyone, why does anyone try to prove they are smarter than anyone on a board like this?? Hell, I'm probably guilty of doing so myself.
Other than typical internet nonsense, this sure the fuck is not an IQ place to prove intelligence.

just a guess, but Whirlie and JD are two of the most insecure people I've ever encountered, internet or otherwise .. JD especially.

There are a couple of guys who've been continual objects of ridicule because of their constant forum-spamming, insult hurling, and other obnoxious behavior. Since it appears that you may be a newcomer to this forum, you may not be aware of that. For some reason they seem to have a need to boast of scores that no one else thinks there's even the most remote chance they could achieve. As you can see, no one believes either of them.
Other than typical internet nonsense, this sure the fuck is not an IQ place to prove intelligence.
True that!
When I see some of the idiocy that a couple of these clowns post, I wonder how in the world they can manage to make a good enough living to afford the hobby or SD-SB world!

I have to admit about my ignorance of this forum...I'm sure the questions that I ask are obvious, but I'm not reading all of this shit to figure out who is whom.
Can some kind gentleman provide me the cliff notes version please?
