    Yup, most definately a money making scam. i bet it would be difficult NOT to get a high score, as the point is simply to get you to purchase whatever crap they're peddling.

    There was a society in the UK for high IQ people once, called "Mensa" (And no, I have no idea why a society for high IQ people should be called "Table", before anyone asks. I've never thought of tables as being especially clever myself.)

    It got on the news a bit.

    I couldn't see the point myself. If you are so damn clever, show it, go out and change the world, don't take a test.

    The most famous member was a bloke called Clive Sinclair, an inventor, whose signature product was an electric tricycle about 12 inches high which was expensive slow, had a short range,and was completely invisible to all forms of road traffic. Oh, and what's wrong with a bicycle anyway?

    Other British inventors came up with Radar, the jet engine, or penicillin, but hey, they weren't in Mensa...

    yup. sounds like it's a big rigged or weighted. an interesting test of this would be to go there and purposely miss about 50% of the questions and see what score you get.

    I seem to remember TK posting this a while back, as a joke. Soly got 164, and everyone was really impressed until it was realised it wasn't real.
