Mensa seems a bit hard up for members. I got pre-approved as junk mail. I thought so much for elite club.

The last girl I read about that showed a high IQ at an early age turned out to be schizophrenic.

Last official IQ I took (this year, 60 questions 40 minutes) said I was 134 at 98.45%

I've always been marked 98-99%...well since sixth grade at least.

Mensa hasn't called me yet.
They probably aren't smart enough to find me.

What official IQ test is 60 questions and 40 minutes?

If it wasn't given by a Psychologist it wasn't really official usually.

Never really understood mensa. Top 1% is HUGE when you're talking about the ENTIRE POPULATION.

It should be like Top. 01% or something. Top 1% is for highschools and crap.

The top 1-2% of intelligence is not as big a number as you think.

I watched some people feed ducks a few days ago.

So basically you took one of the 'official online' IQ tests that have questions many of us have already seen and not of the real types of questions you are asked in a truly official one.

IQ tests measure ability to learn and understand, not accumulated knowledge. She is 3, there are going to be many many things she has not learned yet...

After all, she has only been learning from her parents who seem to not know the difference between a chemist and a scientist!

incorrect
IQ tests are a pseudoscientific honeypot for the gullible populace. they measure only one thing... an individuals ability to take an "IQ" test. each different version of "the" IQ test measures a completely different thing, namely an individuals ability to take that particular version of "the" IQ test.

there are as many different definitions of "IQ" as there are versions of "the 'IQ' test".

NONE of them have anything at all to do with Intelligence, ability to learn, ability to understand, etc.

IQ is pure pseudoscientific bullshit
