Re: Testing...Testing...two, three, five, (?), ?
When last tested (properly, using the Wechsler AI Test) I got a ridiculous score - so I do think there is a knack to IQ tests. There is also a cultural element, but don't get me started on that. Went to a Mensa meeting once, and a sadder lot of bores I have seldom come across. Out of all these genius level brains, I think there were only a couple who had even first degrees, but all had an enormous idea of their own intelligence!
(In case you are wondering, I tested at 146, so why am I not running something major and making a fortune?) |

Re: Testing...Testing...two, three, five, (?), ?
Oh I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one who found Mensa boring. The tests are flawed too I agree because there is a cultural element to them and if you've come across certain thngs before then you'll be familiar with them where others wouldn't be.
I like the spacial type puzzles better than the mathematical ones but I don't know what that says about me.

Well I scored 19, like a lot of others. Sounds a bit strange

People that declare their genius are usually as thick as two short planks.
Mensa is the Daily Telegraph reader's answer to train spotters, except they will have matching anoraks, bought from the weekend supplements.

I have found that many of the 'brainy' people I have known, haven't got the common sense of a flea.

Any of you lot any good at Sudoku?
One of my old work colleagues used to nickname me "Mensabrain" usually when I'd made some sort of ludicrous mistake.  He also had a lot of othere nicknames for me.

Re: Testing...Testing...two, three, five, (?), ?
 ON THE FLOOR HOWLING!!Sudoku left you bald in places? I won't ask! Ok l will, where? Ribchester, Wales, not below stairs? In answer to Vorlon. If you can ever circumnavigate past the M25 and make it up to one of the meets, l'll show you exactly how l make a swan out of a napkin!! Made top dollars when l used to perform it in a club in Hamburg.

I love Sudoku! Can't tell you how sad that is but at least I've recognised it and am now getting medical treatment for it.
