High IQ "societies" (such as this, or MENSA) are funny, they're essentially a circle-jerk for "smart" people. I always wondered why these groups, since they're full of "smart" people, don't actually produce anything useful.
Free IQ tests are cool tho'.

they want me to join their club... for the low introductory price of only $79!!!
Sounds like a deal... right?
If i sign up do they revoke my IQ and give me a 50?

I googled for the answers to factual questions I didn't know and guessed randomly on the graphical ones and managed a 133. No IQ test with factual questions or vocabulary questions is actually testing intelligence. I neglected to see if they offered answers on the results page, so that you could go back and reverse engineer the solution. My guess is that they randomly select a certain percentage to receive a score above their limit in the hope that they'll sign up.

Intelligence is not a scalar quantity.

peh. Guessed around a third of them, got 123. That's one of the most poorly written IQ tests I've seen in a while though. The ones on Facebook are better.

"High IQ "societies" (such as this, or MENSA) are funny, they're essentially a circle-jerk for "smart" people."
I made a similar statement once at a previous (dead end) job, only to find out that one of the co-workers who was listening was the head of the local Mensa chapter. Awkward.
It's sad. IQ and $4 might get you a cup of coffee, it's what you do with it that counts.

Good fucking lord this is a stupid test. Intelligence is apparently not a scalar quantity, but a poorly-executed and unnecessary 3-D chart. Seriously, whose brilliant idea was that? Are they trying to attract smart people or illustrate an article for USA Today?
