Does anyone know their IQ?

Question

What is it and what score get's you in Mensa?

Answer 1

I'm a 142...I think Mensa is like 160...................

Answer 2

It is perfectly okay to have an i.q. that is not Mensa level. But, gosh, do you low i.q. guys all have to prove it?

No, i.q. does not limit at the top around 164 as someone said. Einstein, and Marilyn Vos Savant have i.q.'s around 185+. So do my son and a man I used to work with.

There are different tests. My Army GT test score was around 156, and in 1965, it was the 2nd highest of 20,000 men on Ft. Lewis, WA. I got called a liar some weeks ago here on YA, because some dummy only knew people with GT around 130 or so, so he assumed I was lying. What a dork.

I.q. is somewhat meaningless in our society. If you can bounce a ball around better than anyone else, women present when you come in the room, but we don't care for i.q. In fact, people get angry if you mention it. But, when their kid gets cancer, they all want a high i.q. doctor to cure the kid.

I was an editor of a local Mensa chapter in Iowa from 1978 to 1983. Most members did little in Mensa except socialize, but many did take a look at their lives, and many went back to school for a degree or started businesses, motivated by the knowledge that they were working below their level. then, they no longer felt a need to be members.

Mensa also has SIG's, Special Interest Groups, so people can communicate with others of similar interests. Especially underemployed high i.q. women tend to like Mensa for the intelligent conversations, which underemployed women seldom have in their daily lives.

Answer 3

Mensa accepts individuals who score in the 98th percentile on standardized IQ tests such as the Stanford-Binet. New scores on certain common tests, such as the SAT and the GRE, are no longer accepted, either because they no longer are considered intelligence tests or because they no longer measure scores up to the 98th percentile, although older scores on these tests are accepted. On the SAT, for example, scores from 1994 and earlier are accepted. Mensa administers its own tests for those who do not already have qualifying scores from other tests; each national Mensa group has its own rules and procedures for administering tests.

Because different tests are scaled differently, it is not meaningful to compare raw scores between tests, only percentiles. For example, the minimum accepted score on the Stanford-Binet is 132, while for the Cattell it is 148 [1].

Answer 5

My IQ is 126.

To get into Mensa, it depends on which IQ test is used, and where you are applying. Somewhere around 132 - 148.

Answer 6

136
I don't know what the IQ requirement is for Mensa...check the website.

80 or below is considered "special"
I think the average is between 105 and 120
130 and above is considered gifted
150 and up is genius
