youve obviously misunderstood what mensa does

[quote=NoNsensical]I have a friend in Mensa. She mainly just hooks me up with drugs and goes to metal concerts with me so we can grind on each other and has been trying to get in bed with me since middle school. I took her to a hookah lounge once and she ordered lemon and wondered why it was so harsh. Obviously the standards for it are pretty low.

By the way, mensa means stupid in Spanish.[/quote]

No, estupido is stupid in Spanish.
Mensa means table in Italian apparently.
Not sure if I was just trolled, whatever.

Makes me remember that Jim Carrey movie

Mensa is a a place where losers that want to be recognized as geniuses gather but haven't actually contributed anything in society to earn that status.

Prime example: Sheldon Cooper.

[quote=lindemann]I will! They said it'd take close to 30 days for the psycologist to correct the tests. The test was almost identical to the online one in terms of how the questions were ''upplagda''. I felt really good about my performent when i was done

IQ really doesn't measure how smart or wise you are, IQ is a measurement of your brains ''processing capability''? Not sure how to say it. If your brain is a CPU, higher IQ = better CPU?

I started thinking i might have a higher IQ since i find mathematics easy.[/quote]

Actually, IQ does measure how smart you are - visually. People with a higher IQ than the average see patterns easier than those with less IQ
They also tend to be socially different, for example, i dont have any friends in my age and i connect better with older people

maybe youre good at math since you can see the patterns easily i find myself good at math for my age too, never had difficulties with it either

[quote=Nimaah]nice! unfortunately i cant take that test, keep us updated haha [/quote]

[quote=Perreh]I know someone who is in Mensa, but yet most of the time lacks common sense. I just don't see how it works.[/quote]

[quote=lindemann]What a coincidence, i took the Swedish test aswell and got >126 I did the most recent test (27th feb) in Göteborg. I paid 295 :-, roughly $48.[/quote]

[quote=Nimaah]hello
recently ive been feeling very anxious and ive had headaches for overanalyzing situations etc
i talked to the psychologist of our school and he thinks im "gifted". i dont really see it as a gift, since i actually feel pretty bad all the time

The swedish online test gave me the maximum score of ">126". Now im waiting for responce for my principal whether i can take the certified test or not
if she says no, ill have to choose between paying ~700 dollars for a test or wait four years to take the "normal" test

im 14[/quote]

I tested in rather easily a year or two ago, I have my membership card for proof if you'd like. I don't attend many events, though.
EDIT: As for benefits, there is an interesting monthly magazine as well as free entrance into a multitude of gatherings.

Perhaps it's the ultimate chick-magnet? I hardly doubt it though.
