Anyone else here in MENSA?

[PissedGodzilla]

i was wondering if anyone in MENSA (top 2% IQ) would want to start a sig.

BTW if you never heard of MENSA, here....

I am in mensa.

[Glickman]

i doubt there are many mensa's here, but im sure alot of people have over 150 iq here, some of the stuff that comes up is just crazy. last time i checked, i was 158 (im 15).

Believe it or not, I was not far off but didnt make the cut. I know MantisMag could easily though.

[mcveighr]

Glickman, how many times have you checked? The test isn't exactly cheap.

[Rooster]

I took one of the trial tests and missed by two questions. Of course I took a test that was supposed to last an hour in fifteen minutes while I was watching TV. Might have thrown the results a little.

At any rate, IQ is a poor judge of intelligence. Experience is far superior to intelligence anyways.

Experience is far superior to intelligence anyways.

I don't agree with that..........at all.

I'll take intelligent and newb over old and incompetent any day of the week.

[Rooster]

I didn't say incompetent, I said experience is superior to intelligence. Take your 160 IQ to the next job opening for a CEO and go up against a guy with an IQ of 80 and 30 years of good experience. You lose.

i could be in mensa...in 6th grade i was in the very top vocab class, math, reading, such on...

i was in 10th grade math...4yrs before i was in 10th grade

and i was in the gifted and talented program...and excelled in that....

i was a very smart person...but i acted like an idiot just to seem normal...oh yeah...and i had i bad attitude (i would of been uped to 8th if i didnt get suspended 3 times )

dwab, there are cetain criteria on how you qualify for MENSA, check it on their website, you might be eligible... It's a really cool group, it's fun!

I got in because I scored a combined total of 2030 on my GRE exams to get in for my master's degree. If someone is really good at standardized testing, it's pretty easy to get in... i suggest people try, it is fun to at least take the IQ test anyway.

[dwab3000]

ive been clickin around all day...i may see about mensa here

hmm

[CaptaiN_JacK]

dwab, just because you were in honors classes doesnt mean youre smart enough to be in mensa! american classes are so easy these days, almost everybody is in a higher reading or math level, because the stuff is so easy. i also agree that IQ is a bad indicator of intelligence. standerdized tests as a whole are bad indicators of itelligence. someone who is extremely smart, but isnt good at taking tests could do bad on say the SAT's, but someone who is not that smart, but good at taking tests could do great.

I think a better way to describe someone as intelligent is to say how well they survive in their environment. For example, a drug dealer in the heart of the ghetto, is very "intelligent" because he survives extremely well in such a harsh environment. Just because you do well on a test doesnt mean your intelligent, it means your smart, it means you can retain information well. Really that score on a test means nothing when you don't know how to keep yourself warm if your lost in the woods or what to do when your held at gun point.

capt jack...that was the 70s and 80s i was in those classes..when it was hard to get in those classes
