Cuber's IQ

TDM said:
Yea, I agree with this and what windhero said. Most of them aren't good.
I don't think I've done a Mensa IQ test, but I've done an official IQ test (could've been Mensa; it was a while ago so I can't remember) and I got 139. It is lower than the online tests (as expected), but not by much.

I did a Mensa test and aced it. I didn't bother to get my IQ, but I did well enough to get into Mensa.

The book one.

The book one counts for nothing in my opinion ( if you mean something like the likes of this one: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51TZ9Q1BKQL.jpg ) compared to a real mensa test in a real situation.

Kclejeune; it was not directed at you personally. I just find it hilarious how many people on these forums figure that they do have an IQ of say over 140. I just have a feeling that most geniuses on the internet are both self-claimed and self-diagnosed.

You are right, and apparently I have an IQ of over 150

Oh I see. By no means am I a genius, that's for sure XD

That's not the book. Nothing like it. 2 inches thick.

I also have a Mensa book, and I think it could be the same one. I haven't seen it for a year or two though, but I can remember that those tests, just like most other books and ones on the internet, aren't similar to a real one, and aren't accurate. Get a real IQ test. They're way more accurate (depending on which one it is, obviously).

Also, just noticed:

requires a score of 131 currently

yay that means I could get into Mensa. But do you know how recent the tests have to be?

I also took a normal IQ test and got 147.

Define 'normal'?

Also, I've seen no studies on how the thickness of books correlates with the accuracy of IQ tests.

I'd assume direct proportionality, which sucks if you bought the Kindle version!
 
I almost thought about getting another IQ test as well, then I saw that you can apply with prior evidence to having a high enough IQ. I may do that.
EDIT: Just seen there's one in 10 days very near me... idk, should I?

Go ahead. You should be in the most democratic elitist society ever. :)
 
If 131/132 for IQ is all that's needed to get into Mensa... that's easy.

What benefits are there to getting into Mensa? I highly doubt it's going to help me raise my kids any better. :p In the end, who really cares how high of an IQ you have as long as you do something useful with your brains? So I hope everyone here who thinks they are very smart will do something useful and good for society and world.

Can a mod move these posts to a new topic like, "Cuber's IQ"?

I wouldn't say I'm very smart, but my IQ is enough to get into Mensa.
And it's difficult doing something useful when cubing is distracting you :p

well i hope to be a mathematician. god knows if im actually clever enough, but im definitely hoping to contribute to society. I'm actually not that bothered about my IQ, so even if i get like 80 i will still try as hard as i can to do something useful. the only reason im doing mensa is because im actually curious.

Considering you do math even I can't, I'm pretty sure you won't get below 140. If you get 80, I will assume you got into a car accident and got brain damage. Seriously bro. You have brains, like big time.
