A little ambition...
Decided to set myself a little challenge, kinda like a New Year's resolution but one that's made in March. By the end of the year I want to get into Mensa! Only little issue is I don't think I'm clever enough. But I'm not gonna let that deter me.
So to get into Mensa you've got to get in the top 2% of the population on an IQ test, now apparently there are loads of different tests and the scores vary and such but I read somewhere (can't find it now!) that that's roughly equivalent to an IQ of 148. I've done a few tests throughout my life and tend to get somewhere in the 120s so I'm falling a little short!
However I have a plan, I reckon by practicing IQ tests you can boost your score...so that's what I plan to do. Then you pay £15 and take a standardized-supervised-Mensa-approved IQ test in some funny test centre and hope for the best. Unfortunatly there's only a few test sessions so I may have to wait a while for one to be local or get in my car and drive somewhere to do one. As for why I've decided to try and join Mensa I don't know - but it would get some serious bragging rights!
Do I stand a chance? Probably not. Will I ever bother to try? Probably not.
However I take great comfort that Mensa's official website felt the need to inform me that "1 in 50 people have an IQ in the top 2%"
