Just hit 19 and still going...

[edit: just hit 21, those last two are one's only people who know about the bible would get, how's that a fair test of intelligence?]

[edit: there's three dealing with the bible...]

[edit: figured out 29 of them, my room mate figured out the other 4 in the 27 he figured out]

That's cause you need an apostrophe.

Edit: Roach beat me to it. And it just worked for me, so not sure why not for you. :confused:

21 so far, and correct, this has nothing to do with MENSA. The "intelligent" bracket is so easy to hit anyway - there are loads to with obvious things such as days in a year, month etc .

I got 31, then suddenly remembered 5. Then I had to cheat for number 33. I am lucky the few sports ones in there were sports I'd played, had friends who played, or I just knew. Very lucky, as that's my downfall.

I got 23 without much trouble and without any help. Yeah, those seem way too easy for MENSA.

It has to do with two others.

Nah, you probably do have good verbal reasoning- whether that equates to intelligence or not is debatable though.

im pretty sure this site is BS, I figured they would try to hide it more but look at the faq on the site:

Quote:

Q: Is this a genuine MENSA test?
A: Well, I'm not 100% sure about it, but I think it is ...

the next one is the guy explaining that his friend from mensa sent it to him

and

Quote:

Q: I enjoyed the test very much! Can I contribute somehow? Maybe suggest new questions?
A: Yes you can, just send an email with your suggestion in the form it is on the test (question - answer). If it's any good, you'll most likely see it in a future test ...

So a non-mensa member writing for a mensa test which measures whether you're a genius or not? interesting

Quote:

Answers will automatically be verified as you type 'em.

using 'em for a mensa test is quite unprofessional

This isnt a true mesaure of whether one is genius or not (if there could be a simple test to determine that, that is)

edit: plus seriously look at these questions, this isnt a serious intelligence test

Got 17 without any help. Then I read the thread and saw they wanted "loaves." And the "in the HB" one I think I almost have. Someone want to post that one? :confused:
