Are you a genius?

[engineereeyore]

30. don't know anything about rugby or cricket, so i'd have never gotten those two. not very good with provinces either.

 

[Hail The Brain Slug]

I suck at words, I got about 8. On the mensa test, however, I scored 25 out of 30, without answering 4 of the word questions.

WTF

1000 years in a millenium doesn't work.

EDIT: n/m...millennium is spelled with two n's.

Ok, after looking at the answers I have to agree, this test doesn't really measure how "smart" you are, but rather how well-read you are. Some of them are not fair to european people (32 degrees, us flag stripes), others are not fair to americans (rugby, cricket) yet others are not fair to non-christians (bible related questions).

 

[Chaotic42]

25 with no help. Not that bad...

"Your score was 26 out of 30. That is an excellent score, you would have a very strong chance of passing the Mensa test and joining Mensa."

I got all but 4 in a half an hour. It says I scored 40/33. Right.

 

[chuckywang]

Well, if you really want to know the answers, you can analyze the javascript for the website:
http://www.mensa-test.com/script2.js


EDIT: never mind, that won't work. they hashed the answers.

 

[JLGatsby]

Anyone smart enough to pass this test should be smart enough to know such a test does not properly measure what should be considered "intelligence."

 

[PottedMeat]

I wouldn't say 'genius', exactly...

 

[mordantmonkey]

i've gotten 20 but could get more on another pass through.

millennium is how you spell millennium. but what about "bakers dozen" shouldn't it be "baker's dozen" did mensa screw up?

 

[thraashman]

I hate these online "are you a genius" tests. I've scored well into genius on at least 3 actual monitored tests. Though I did unfortunately miss the mark for supergenius, oh well.
