For MENSA it was just like taking an ACT, SAT, or anything like that. There were staff but i don't think any were psychologists. They did say it would be graded under the "supervision" of a psychologist though.

yup, pretty much hit the nail on the head. phsych verifies the method uses and is there when the grading takes place

You bomb the vocabulary subtest, but that doesn't hurt your ability to play with funny blocks (17) or put pictures in the correct order (6) or, in fact, a good two thirds of the test.



It has to do with giving a ---- about what strangers think, and nothing to do with intelligence.

That's debatable. Ive read papers in the field of epistemology that would suggest otherwise, and have some pretty compelling theories.

I had a somewhat attractive yet emotionally unstable psycho polka try to mate with me once. I never quite recovered from the experience.

In relevance to the subject, I think everyone needs to understand the difference between ratio IQ's and Deviation IQ's.

This explains it simply.

Basically, you can score a 160+ ratio IQ as a child, but your adult deviation IQ would be lower.


Having a high IQ means little if you dont perform to your fullest potential. Myself being a prime example of this. :P

Re: IQ test?
 

good info fellas, I didn't really want to take one so I could brag if I got a high score, I realize it measures your ability to learn and this is why I want to take it. I have been a part time college student for a couple years lingering in the lower level classes, and I have done well in them, But I find myself afraid to commit to a major or to full time study for some reason. Originally I knew I wanted to be either an electrical or mechanical engineering major, but my fear of higher level math ie: calculus has kinda ruled that out for me, looking into biochemistry now.....at any rate I wanted to see how I could do on a REAL iq test, for some reason I feel if I do well it will help me make that leap into full time study and picking a major so I can get the ---- on with life, at 26 years old I feel like it's time for me to decide what I'm gonna do with school.
