Great link to a MENSA test from reddit

If you are able to get 19+ or more answers you are considered a genius.

On the bottom part of the page is a little notice that states that there are some cultural biases (based on the english language and some questions are related to a specific religion) to the questions on the exam. Also that it only tests one’s verbal and linguistic pattern recognition ability, therefore not really showing ones capacity at non linguistic pattern recognition as well as spatial intelligence.

I have to say that I was able to score pretty good because of my educational background, that as an engineer(you just have to memorize those conversion tables:D) as well as my experience in IT…. which makes good use of the stuff being asked… so this has to be attributed to intelligence gained from one’s environment…

WARNING: Don’t go any further if you don’t want to see my correct answers and spoil your chance with the test.

    Nge. I clicked on the MENSA link right away and assumed the category “MENSA Workout” was the test. Got 25 out of 30. That was tough! But I enjoyed it. Thanks.
