Please don't triple posts... I got about 7 right without cheating. After cheating, I found out that I could only get another 5 at most since I've never heard of the rest! Damn...I knew the "temperature" was related to temperature, but couldn't form a sentence!
muahahhahaha i found the answers... its in the link... so click only if u want to know the answer.. http://www.north-east-business-park.co.uk/fsb/fizzbizz/april03/Mensa_Quiz/Answers/answers.html
it's more like..how much do u know then how intelligent you are.. i mean..who the hell cares about how many stripes there are in the US flag as for the bible question, non believers wont know adi right..
Hey….I’m a Genius….always knew it! 40 minutes last night to get 19, then another half hour today to get to 28. Can’t see the last 5 but I’m not going to cheat and will try later. Something’s wrong here because I know for a fact I’m no genius, other wise why am I poor and working for living? It’s severely biased towards native English speakers and also mainly British people. So it’s definitely not fair on most of the people here. It’s not a real IQ test as some questions assume knowledge of English culture. Knowledge has nothing to do with intelligence.
I'm not sure it's due to our language power, but after looking at the answers, I can tell I wouldn't know even after knowing the answer, like the bible one. Seriously no way for me to answer more than 15 even if you give me another 10 years!
Actually the total number of books in the Bible is quite debatable. There are so many books that are included in some versions and excluded from others. I got 10 without cheating/reading the posts here
24 was my last count but anyways. whether or not it determines u are a genius is irrelavent. Did you guys had fun solving the puzzle? Did it squeeze your brains a bit when practicing some lateral thinking? That's all that matters, not how many you achieved in answering.
Yeah I enjoyed the test peaz and it filled some time during an insomniac moment. You are right that scores are unimportant. If someone like me can do well on a test like this then I think the main lesson to be learned here is that Mensa members are not as smart as they think they are. If a dumb truck mechanic can match them, well what does that say? I’m sure you could have gotten some more aKho if you had been in the mood. I think mood and mind set are all important for mental tests. If it had been in your own language you would have done better than me. You can not only speak a second language, but also read and write it. I wish I could do either.
