Are you MENSA material?

#13 is wrong anyway.... Water doesn't freeze @ 32F, ice melts.

 

[captains]

7

 

[jdogg]

100 cents in a rand .... 13 is unlucky for some ... this is a moronic test ... two of these questions pertain to cricket ... who knows anything about cricket in the USA and how does that make you "mensa" material if it does .... what about buddists who don't know how many books there are in the old and new testament .... boooooooooooooo bad test

and if you can figure out what MENSA stand for, you are a genius.

Eh, I might get a few more if I didn't have to go to class right now. I think that's 14.

 

[ProviaFan]

I got about 9, three of which were:

66 Books in the Bible
39 Books in the Old Testament
27 Books in the New Testament

^-- only advantage (if it can be called that) of being raised in the uber-conservative midwest

So is this actually on MENSA's site, or just in spam e-mail that you received saying, "You might already be a jenius?"

For those that have to ask, yes, the misspelling is intentional.

this isn't the practice test on the site. Nonetheless, these kinds of questions do pop up on mensa tests and have given rise to many accuracte claims that the tests are culturally biased.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

NOT a MENSA test...

dunno if they still do but MENSA had a test on it's site at one time. It was quite difficult. Much more so than this is.

Especially since it's not an acronym, it's just a latin word meaning "table."

This was a fun brainteaser, I wonder though whether it was taken from one of the Mensa puzzle books or it's just a snopes-worthy email hoax. "Only 2 MENSA members achieved full marks"? back when I bothered to pay membership dues there were no annual tests needed to retain my "S-M-R-T license."

to be fair, questions of this sort are relatively few and far between. More common questions (see example test on the site) relate to prime numbers and simple 2d pattern detection.
