Higher IQ

[bennyboy]

Let me say this to those of us above 120 or even 140.  Mensa accepts the top 2% of IQ scores, which I believe is about 140 and up.

Pretty sure 130 is the 98th percentile.  145 is 99.9% IIRC.

This chart has  you as right: http://www.iqcomparisonsite.com/iqtable.aspx

However, Mensa apparently has different cutlines for different tests, ranging from 132 up to 148.

Interestingly, the little jump up to 135 breaks into the top percentile.  My highschool IQ of 147 I think is probably bullshit-- I'm not in the top 1/1000 I'm pretty sure.  I suspect foul play-- a teacher trying to establish a "gifted" class or something like that.

I did try out for Mensa last year, and didn't get in-- the entrance test in Korea has nothing but visual logic puzzles-- TIMED visual logic puzzles.  Fuck my life.  I'll have to find someone to do a more comprehensive test if I'm going to have any chance of getting what I've always dreamed of-- a little plastic card that proves I'm better than almost everyone I meet!
