IQ tests aren't all they're cracked up to be. For instance i scored very high on my iq test,(enough for mensa) but i took my SAT a few years back and recieved an average score. What does that tell you? The brain works in many different sorts of ways so i wouldn't place to much weight on any single test. However they can be fun. Take note that the questions are often very similer in these tests so if you take 7 or 8 iq tests you'll be learning the formulas and you'll soon be scoring 200+ points which is probably not going to be accurate.

Drink and drugs during pregnancy cause "Fetal Alcohol Syndrome" - a common cause of learning difficulties in what would have been an otherwise normal child. A dead giveaway is the smaller than normal cranium - although in mild cases this is not always present - it also causes severe behavioural problems. Sadly social services over here seem to think that leaving kids with these sorts of parents is OK.

That was an easy one! I got 146 and I didn't even understand all the questions...

"mensa" is Latin for table.Altron said:
Any psychologist should be able to help you too. If you are really interested in knowing your IQ, which everyone should know anyways for various reasons, I would suggest you get it done professionally. MENSA is the easiest way I think. If you score over 148 on the broad spectrum tests, it means you are in the 2% bracket and eligible to join MENSA.
I find MENSA a bit boring though. If you can manage to score over 163 you can join the Promethius Society, but that is very hard, and I don't really like the people either (all of those I met are socialists). But that is just a personal opinion.
Or, for fun, go here: http://www.highiqsociety.org/noflash/nonmembers/iqtests.htm and click on the Test for Exceptional Intelligence. It will not give you an IQ, but if you can solve some of those puzzles your IQ is over 180. Be warned, they are HARD!!

For an organisation that's supposed to be for highly intelligent people they're not exactly adventurous. Far too egocentric most of them as well I found, just liked to talk about themselves and not me.
But then I've never been one for joining things - I prefer my own company - I don't like wasting time talking about mundane crap like the weather and can concentrate on more interesting things like the religious practices of the cave bear hunters.

But not realists. Its fine and dandy to sit there with you IQ of 180 and dream at one gazillion GHz of how wonderful life could be, but that ain't gonna make it happen. Not to mention those people tend to be more ... academic in nature and like the redistribution of wealth. (in general)Luis G said:
And yeah, they're boring as hell.

To me it all still boils down to hanging out with people that you get along with and can be friends through thick and thin. When one is a lofty hyper intelligent individual, one rarely gets along with other hyper intelligent types as their quirks of smugness and mental intractible nature tend to cause rifts and bitterness.... and jealousy.
