I stumbled across this self-proclaimed MENSA test while reading IMAO and decided it might be fun.  It took me a little more than two hours to complete the whole thing (33/33).  Sadly, upon completing it I realized three very important things.  First, I seriously doubt this is an official MENSA test (I could be wrong, but I have my suspicions).  Second, it has a blatantly heavy bias toward Western culture which negates it as a meaningful test for true genius.  Third, it’s not sufficiently robust to indicate anything more than advanced linguistic pattern recognition skills and trivia knowledge.

Scoring perfect on it, according to the page, would place me in a league of genius very few people share, but I don’t put much weight in that claim since, as I pointed out, it’s not in my opinion a good indicator of genius.

I still thought it was fun and rather interesting as a measure of linguistic skills and the ability to match visual patterns against a wide variety of data.

I don’t know how to post my results without giving away the answers to the test, and that I don’t want to do.  If you choose to take it and eventually want all of the answers, I’ll happily provide them via e-mail on an individual basis, but I won’t post them as that would spoil it.  I’m also willing to provide help (via the comments) for individual questions.  Even if you choose to take the test but don’t want to get help on it, I’d be interested in your final score out of pure curiosity.  And don’t mind the scoring at the bottom of the page.  While they’d like to claim it’s accurate, I’ve already explained why it’s not.

Go check it out.  You’ll undoubtedly have as much fun as I did.
