With all the talk of intelligence on the 'left handed' thread - I found this site.
I'm probably going to be terribly showed up by all of you - but my score was 143.
Go on, have a go and tell us what you get

Not showed up by me! had a bottle of wine (my excuse anyway ) my result 117, poor chap mel smith who lives 1t 111, south street, south road, southend number blah blah blah will probably get junk mail!!why do they need to know everything before giving the result!!

Hooray, I was a bit sharper there then!!

No need to enter anything just keep clicking forward, tehn it gives you a code to post into a forum or blog advertising the quiz again - I got 136

[dixie]

Clever Clogs! took longer to get through the address bit than the test! kept telling me to fill in correct details, it knew I was lying!!!

[RUSTYME]

I will be getting tons of junk mail along with poor ole Mel Smith !!!! Wondered where he got too ??

cheers

I'm shocked - I got 138.  I really struggled with the maths questions and just guessed.  I'm very pleased with the result although I'm sure on another day it would be a totally different score!

138 - same as my Mensa Exam taken over 18 years ago - but did not become a member.

Yes--------well I fell at the first hurdle. I never was too bright!

The things you do when it's raining! 140 for me.

I knew we were all a clever bunch

Meh.

The test failed on a number of levels. The first being the length: too short. The second being the requirement for knowledge: the jumbled letter questions as IQ is based on ability and NOT knowledge and it's incredibly difficult to unjumble a sequence of letters unless the word has high activation in your semantic memory. The number sequences, pattern matching and logic is all good though .. but the lack of feedback on the test (or I missed it) was disappointing.

I've forgotten who mentioned it already in the thread .. but the time of day you take it, the amount of food & drink you've had, how tired you are, whether it's the time of day you are naturally most alert etc etc etc all affect the score you will gain anyway. As does gender and age ... so anyone who didn't enter an (almost) accurate gender & age at the start, you can discard the score you got!

Some day I'll sit a proper test with Mensa and then not tell anyone my results.. because it doesn't matter a jot

For all the reasons you give Calum I dont think anyone would take it too seriously. Just a bit of brain 'exercise' during a heavy shower which got me indoors. (I was still pleased with 140)

My concern with these things is that some people do take them seriously. Now if, as everyone who's posted their score here, you get an above average score, fantastic, doesn't really matter if it's taken seriously or not. Now consider someone who gets a significantly below average score and takes it seriously .. there are many factors that could contribute to the low score and it may well not be representative of their IQ .. yet it could still lead to distress amongst other things. I'm not talking about someone who's largely stable gets a bit miffed and has forgotten about it a couple of hours later, more someone who already has other issues that it can build on.
