Moses455- which test did you take to get into mensa?

[Sunny_01]

Is this thread about intelligent HMs or the intelligence of forum members! can we keep this thread on topic please?

I have to say I am in many ways in agreement with moses. Not one of the current HMs would stimulate me into a meaningful conversation. Is there not a world out there that they have lived in.

I don't agree when it comes to Rachel and possibly Rex though, they seem to have a little more about them.

Right well i transate that as i am unintelligent, whilst you are so far up your own **** you could point out all your bones and internal oragans in latin,

This is big brother you are watching, the producers would prefer to show you a lisamariomoment than world politics

I studied latin and hated it, and internal anatomy is not my strong point I'm afraid. I can't followm through on your request, as much as I might FANCE (Yeah, I really can't spell that D'OH!) it.
So what this is BB I am watching. There is no reason why there can't be some issues of world politics and other mind stimulating conversations, rather than the vacuous, shallow things we are shown. Why not have a better mix of a few more highly intelligent people, as well as all these dullards. There CAN be a Lisamariomoment, AS WELL AS some intellectuals on the show.

They were talking politics yesterday on the live feed.

Assuming this is meant as a genuine query, and not an attack of my validity, I will answer. It's quite simple, really.

I was given a book 'Mensa Puzzle Book', by a friend, and it had a test to fill out, split into different categories, testing antonyns, meanings, opposites, etc. I filled it out, and sent it to the address given, with a fee.
That's it. I'm a member, but play little role in mensa. The only reason I bought up the subject, was because the poster who is challenging me sarcastically told me to go and join Mensa, and I merely told him I was already a member.

Book in question:

A second Mensa Puzzle Book (Victor Serebriakoff) (Chancellor Press, 1993)

Jeez, do people have to quote the whole 900 reply argument for every single post?!

I actually meant was it the Cattell or Stanford-Binet.

That I can accept. I admit that editing can play a part. But I still find the housemates intellectually unstimulating. I am willing to admit there MAY be more to Rex and perhaps Rache (but being a teacher means nothing, I am a teacher, and some of the teachers I work with are really thick, believe me!) However, that is still a very small proportion of people, even so.

I was 'exaggerating' but it is a bit annoying that you insist on quoting the last 10 or so replies, filling up half the page every time you just want to add a line onto the end.

They are types of IQ tests that mensa accepts.

Perhaps now, but not when I joined years ago! But, I have had my interest sparked and am trying them online now. Damn, I hate spatial awareness!

I thought you said you only joined 3 years ago? They haven't changed it since then.

I think it would be best to stick to the original topic instead of getting on to how intelligent people on the forum are.

Typo again - 13 years ago!! Hence, why I was talking about joining through the book I was given by my friend!! Internet not around back then!

But you said on page 1:

I joined mensa when I was 26, about three years ago

Come on, you're telling porkies aren't you!

[Moses455]

No, I am 39 now. I should have written:

I joined Mensa when I was 26 about 13 years ago. I don't know why I wrote three years. Typo. I honestly did join thirteen years ago!!!

You're 39? You're profile says you were born in '78. Is that a typo too?

[Moses455]

No, made up.

You were lying about your age? Ok

So... when you wrote that you were 26 when you took it three years ago, you are actually 39 and you took it 13 years ago? only you wrote 'three' which was a 'typo' and you also know nothing of the tests they accept?

Sounds reaaally believable!
