Click For Summary
Participants in the discussion share their experiences with various online IQ tests, including the Ultimate IQ Test, Verbal IQ Test, and Culture-Fair IQ Test. Scores vary widely, with some users achieving results in the 120s to 140s, while others express skepticism about the accuracy and validity of these tests. Many comments highlight the perceived randomness of certain questions, particularly in the Culture-Fair Test, and the influence of factors like test-taking conditions and prior knowledge on scores. The conversation also touches on the appeal of joining Mensa, with mixed opinions on its value. Some view it as a way to connect with like-minded individuals, while others criticize it as elitist or a "political snake pit." There is a humorous acknowledgment of the $60 membership fee, with some suggesting that the tests serve more as entertainment than a serious measure of intelligence. Overall, the thread reflects a blend of curiosity, skepticism, and lighthearted banter about IQ testing and the concept of intelligence.

To all closet Mensans at Physics Forums, you now see why 'coming out' and declaring that you're a Mensan is a soul searching decision. Each Mensan must make that decision for him or her self. I understand the consternation. While in the closet, you witness the Mensa bashers from a distance but once you're 'out' you become the target. There are many brave Mensa brothers and sisters who have been subjected to the abuse of these Mensaphobics all their lives. These Mensans are the venerated few who have made it somewhat easier for us. Yet, the majority of Mensans still suffer. Be brave fellow Mensans, for the bashers are cowards in disguise. Most Mensaphobics have a strong desire engage in mensa activity. Their latent mensa arousal is manifested in a desire to bash what they hate in themselves. To those bashers all I can say is "don't knock it till you try it."

No – I’m not gay.

Geoffery - what I meant to say is don't join unless you plan to engage in the social part of Mensa. Mensa is at its beginning and at its end - a social organization.
