IRT CC: I have a feeling that they also use age as an “inhibiting” factor. The older you are, the more smarter (oops, darnit!) you have to be. Perhaps speed was also a factor, since I spent soem time on the math problems; I can´t help it. When I see a math problem I gotta solve it!

are you esl? That may have been a factor if you are as well.
actually, mensa requirements are the top 2% of whatever test you are taking. there are a lot of different IQ tests, with many different scoring methods, so to standardize it, the people that qualify for mensa must score in the top 2% of any of the mensa approved tests. and 127 is a respectable IQ. the range for average is around 90-110, or something close. at any rate, 127 is in the above average range, and depending on your source, genius tends to start at around 136. and also, you shouldnt place any stock in an internet based IQ test. (I personally have taken a number of them, and scored everywhere from 120 to 180, and that excludes any repeats) so clearly, they are not reliable. if you want to know your IQ, take a written one, probably best to take a mensa accepted one.
esl???
esl - english as second language…
and i seem to be too old for that test :) …
Jan_, I believe you are correct. I know 85 and lower begins Mildly Mentally Retarded(I’m sure that phraseology is unPC.)

Did you break the website?
uhm … not that i know … anf if, then not on purpose…
something wrong with it now?
I score a 124 on the Emode test, labeled me “Word Warrior”, so maybe all that binge drinking in college paid off somehow :D I decided to google around a bit and you can find most of that test posted in various web forums with all the answers….so I am not putting much weight into that test at all. Guess I am a just average after all, but no one beats me a Yatzee, I will always have that!
CC: IRT esl: If you take the languages in the chronological order that I learned them, english would be my fourth language. But I speak it better than the other three. I don´t feel that language was the problem in that test. Heck, I didn´t feel there were ANY problems in that test!!! They just gypped me!!!
@F_alk:

Nope, just the age comment made me ask.
127. I´m insulted. Either that or I´m not as smart as I´d like to think. In any case, I better not tell my patients ……
i’ve figured it out.
you’re an orthopaedic surgeon, aren’t you . . . ;)
…or does he really have to worry about telling his patients if they’re all deaf?
