MENSA test accepted for admission?

[dilbert]

Just found out about Cerebrals Society. I took a Mensa test last year and got a result that would be sufficient for direct admission. Is the Mensa test accepted? Didn't find any information about this on the home page.

I wasn't aware they gave you any more information other than Pass/Fail with their test.

[dilbert]

They do. I received a letter with the IQ and the percent rank (which was rounded to zero decimals, which is a very intelligent choice, when you got something above 99,5. A percent rank of 100 is absolute nonsense, because this rank means "You're better than x% of the population", and better that 100% means "even better than yourself").

My test result is 143.

Greetings,

I always strive to score better than myself.

Hello
A percentile of 100 means that you are the smartest human ever

[Aarin]

he could have been the most minimal testwise under a hundred though, hence score. I.Q is measred intelligence isn't sorry.

So there!!!

[gabrielinc]

I'm not sure whether a percentile of 100 is even possible. If i'm not wrong then the percentile shows you how many people in the population are less smart than you. But you are also a part of the population and so it shouldn't be possible to get a percentile of 100 because that would mean that you're smarten than yourself and that's not possible. Am i wrong?

Best regards,

[Aarin]

You would be theoretically smarter than yourself with the very absolute minimal test wise, just not in reality thats all. a touch more intelligent than you

[Aarin]

I mean the 9s got to end somewhere. I'd just give him the 100 rather than all the 9s. But I have never been one for the fine details

[mburch]

I think most round up a percentile or two anyway

[dilbert]

This all does not lead to an answer for my initial question...

"Other supervised tests may be accepted as well. ... However, applying on the basis of an unlisted test must have been firstly approved by the Cerebrals’ Psychometrician."

You could read the Admission page before posting. Contact at the e-mail given and give as many data about the test as possible and i would give my basic personal data too in order to reduce useless e-mailing.

Good luck and i hope you join!

We are giving you all a starting IQ of 144, the accepting criterion IQ for Cerebrals, but can you keep it? lets find out!

Can you talk on a cellphone and cross a busy street in sync?

If so please deduct 20 points

Otherwise add the same amount of points!

Can you text while driving?

If you can please deduct another 20 points

if not +20

Do you always leave an extra 2 or 3 car lengths between yourself and the especially idiotic driver infront of you?

If you do please + 10 points

if instead you are looking at your smeared lipstick in the rear-view. -10 points


Do you slow down or speed up when approaching an intersection?

If you speed up -10 points

if you slow down +10 points.

Do you try and dart in and out of traffic like a maniac when pressed for time or do you realize that no matter how many seconds might be saved by doing this also constitute for your resting place should a text from your girlfriend come in-between you.

If you realize this then +10 points
if not -10 points.

If you answered all the questions wrong you need to breathe in a little less toxic city air or possibly just have a deathwish
if you were very safe in all of your answers congrats you might either be A) a liar B) a super-safe driving universal genius!
Oh, and if you failed miserably on this test congrats on having a room temperature IQ and still being among the living!!!! Though I doubt there are many of those types here!

This was just a fun test I made while laying in bed, bored, with nothing to do except spam cerebrals forum with off topic trash

[Stoyo]

The topic was almost destroyed, you just beheaded it! (no offense)
