I don't want to be a member of any organization that would have have me.

Mensa is a scam. They make the test so stupid that everybody passes. Then they send a 'Congratulations!' letter saying that you are eligible to join for $100+. LoL


I have friends who have a Mensa certificate and I never stop laughing at them. I only wish I had thought of it.

They make you pay for the sample test. How smart would I be if I pay for a sample test so see if I want to pay for the real test?

Exactly. And trust me my friend, if you can read and write you will pass the sample test. Everybody except morons pass it.

What is the easiest way to convince one million people to give you one dollar?

[Sanguine]

I want to know what they do at Mensa meetings?  Dance and mingle?  Or, compare IQ's? 

[Elderberry]

Exactly. And trust me my friend, if you can read and write you will pass the sample test. Everybody except morons pass it.

You must be right. I didn't take their test. They took me in(and my money) with my SAT scores that I took when I was crashing on acid.

[bigheadfred]

Right right right. Anyone with a +130 IQ wouldn't fall for the scam--take the test. Us 6th graders know these things.

First, let's be honest: the criteria for Mensa these says is "Can you tie your shoes?" So, yeah, I scored 100%, too, but the test wasn't that hard.

The Top One Percent Society used to be pretty good, but I haven't connected with them in a while, so God knows how they are these days.

What you need to take is the worlds hardest IQ test. Back in day it was called The Mega Test. This was before "google" was a verb in everyone's lexicon. You were actually allowed to use any reference material you wanted and take as much time as you wanted - that's how hard it was. Back then, using reference material meant heading to the library. Nowadays, it would be too easy to cheat with Google. Search engines would detract significantly from the challenge of ferreting out some of the answers.

Ron Hoeflin created a couple other tests, too, which are available on the web. Check out the Ultra Test or the Titan Test here: http://miyaguchi.4sigma.org/

I do not think you can find the Mega Test online, but trust me when I say it was HARD. (I loved it.)

"100% - You're Smart Enough For Mensa!"

Congratulations on the perfect score! You just aced this general knowledge test! While most people would be fooled by all of these questions, you could answer all of them in your sleep. You've been the smartest friend around since first grade, and you're keeping that title with this flawless quiz score! No need to convince us you're a genius! WAY TO GO, ya brainiac, you!!

The only one I had to think about was the triangle question.

First off this was NOT Mensa.  This was some stupid site saying, "You're Smart Enough For Mensa!".

Second, the criteria for Mensa, at least a few years ago, is not (that) trivial.  I looked over a friend's shoulder as he took the test (probably a practice test) and none of the questions was as easy as any of these.   You could also get in with a high enough SAT/ACT score -- I don't know about SAT, but the minimum ACT score put you at the "99"% level (I've never seen any of these test be more specific than 99%, hence the quotes).

[Jewbacca]

Or the fifth grade. 

Well, it's is from "women.com"  Perhaps this is for female "geniuses."

I cannot be given the accepted IQ tests since I already know all the answers as I have given a few thousands of them.  I also can't be evaluated to be crazy as I know all the answers for those personality tests.  I am safe from psychological professionals like me. 

Don't tell Raymond Kertezc that, @Victoria33!  ;-)

Geez its not as hard to be a genius as it used to be

Good for you saying that.  People with higher intelligence "usually" have more knowledge that other people, but not necessarily.  Depends on where they live, if knowledge is around them to learn.

My sister worked with the Navajo years ago.  Some of their youngsters were being evaluated as low IQ, until they had been in an educational environment for awhile.  They simply hadn't enough exposure to the world for the IQ test to evaluate their potential.

When my grandson was in the second grade we were told the IQ tests he was being given were inappropriate for him because he was obviously a very high IQ child.  He is 10 now and in the 11th grade.  He has been known to score very low on a test just because he is fed up with the continual testing the put him thru and marks things wrong on purpose.

I know who Raymond Kertezc is and is not.  :nometalk:  I used the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) and gave so many, when computers became available, I put it on my computer.  There are controls on the MMPI to pick up lying which gives you an indication whether the person was being truthful in his/her answers.  The MMPI, in my opinion, was the best there was/is (plus other personality tests as backups), to diagnose personality disorders, as it confirmed what I had already determined/suspected about the patient through interview.  When you put a mental diagnosis on a patient, you may be changing this person's life for the future, based on why the test was done.  You could be called to court about this diagnosis, so you better be able to back up your diagnosis.  I never gave a person a mental label unless I was positive it was true.  The Rorschach Ink Block test was another to back up the MMPI.  When a normal person takes the Ink Block test, it is boring to evaluate.  However, if you have a true/severe mentally disordered patient, the Ink Block is invaluable to help determine that.

I evaluated a veteran, including the Ink Block as one of the tests, and that test plus the "Thematic Apperception Test" "TAT", told me this vet was severely disturbed.  I thought he was still in a mental hospital, but the psychiatrist had discharged him that day.  I told the psychiatrist this vet was going to kill someone very soon, likely his mother, who he was living with.  That was on a Friday and the next day he was holed up in his mother's house with guns, (she managed to get out), and the house was surrounded by police.  He should not have been discharged from the mental hospital.

I did the same thing when in elementary school, but for a different reason.  It was a scholastic aptitude test given to the class.  It was multiple choice and I knew the right answer to the question but one of the choices was a cowboy in the movies and he was my favorite cowboy, so I selected his name knowing it was wrong.  An evaluator needs to know the mind set of the person being tested.

When I was an associate school psychologist, a principal of a school asked me to test a certain student as he was causing a problem with him, and a problem in class and his teacher also thought he had a sex problem.  He was in the 5th grade.  I began the testing and realized this child was brilliant.  I asked him what he thought of the principal and he said, "He overreacts." (definition  of overreacts: respond more emotionally or forcibly than is justified).  This kid was right as that is what I thought of the principal. 

His father was an engineer and this kid was studying his father's advanced math books at home.  The kid told me when school starts he has to sit through what he learned the year before and the class was boring.  The teacher would not let him bring an advanced math book to class to study while the others were on boring math questions.  Also, when the teacher would make a mistake, this kid would point it out.

About his "sex" problem:  Halloween had happened the night before and the kids brought their sacks of goodies to school they got that night before.  Well, someone had put a woman's bra in his sack so it was in there.  The teacher went nuts. That was the kid's "sex" problem.

I recommended to the principal that he move the kid out of the 5th grade into the 6th grade which was junior high school (he would be out of this elementary school).  The principal was delighted to get rid of this "problem" kid.

YIKES!

My test battery stuff got lost after I went to China.

Some professionals contend that they are not all some people think they are cracked up to be.

I found they usually just affirmed what I'd already deduced. LOL.

I enjoyed the HOUSE/TREE/PERSON and had a lot of extra scales for the MMPI.

I doubt you are "safe" from this:

http://webgrid.uvic.ca/

My Dissertation Chairman compared it against all the better known paper and pencil tests, including the MMPI. It out performed all of them . . . on reliability and validity.

It's more than a little complex--very sensitive and tailored to each individual at that moment in time.

One lists people as elements on the columns and traits as constructs on the rows.

e.g.

1. SELF AT BEST
2. MOTHER ON AVERAGE
3. CO-WORKER AT WORST
4. BOSS ON AVERAGE
5. DAD AT WORST
6. SELF ON AVERAGE
7. BEST FRIEND ON AVERAGE
8. SPOUSE AT BEST
9. MOTHER AT WORST
10. MOST TROUBLESOME PERSON ON AVERAGE
11. MOST ADMIRED LEADER ON AVERAGE
12. MOTHER AT BEST
13. DAD AT BEST
14. CHILD 1 ON AVERAGE
15. CHILD 1 AT BEST
16. CHILD 2 ON AVERAGE
17. CHILD 2 AT BEST
18. CHILD 1 AT WORST
19. CHILD 2 AT WORST
20. SPOUSE ON AVERAGE
21. SELF AT WORST
22. CLOSEST FRIEND ON AT BEST
23. CLOSEST SIBLING ON AVERAGE
24. JESUS

SOME CONSTRUCTS MIGHT BE (SHOULD BE PERSONALLY CHOSEN , MOSTLY)
1. MORE FUN
2. MORE DILIGENT
3. MORE BRIGHT
4. MORE HUMOROUS
5. LESS ANGRY
6. MORE RESPONSIBLE
7. BETTER LISTENER
8. MORE KIND
9. LESS PRICKLY
10. MORE RELATIONAL

ETC.
