Mensa is one of the most exclusive clubs in the world.
The IQ society was founded in 1946 in Oxford, England, by Roland Berrill and Lancelot Lionel Ware. Its mission is to “identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity,” according to the official website.
Getting into the elite society is notoriously difficult and is a privilege reserved for those who score in the top 2% in its famous IQ test.
According to an 11-year-old Londoner who earned a perfect score on the test, it’s “written in a way that any person can do it.”
To get an idea of how likely you are to get into Mensa, the organisation sent Business Insider some sample questions. The answers are at the bottom of the article.
The questions are similar in style to those which are likely to be included in an accredited IQ test. Although answering the mini test will not show an accurate IQ score, it can give a rough indicator of how well you may do if you attempted a Mensa IQ Test.
Mensa IQ Challenge
Mensa International (MI) would like to thank Olav Hoel Dørum (creator of the test questions and scoring), Tedd Hansen (developer of the test engine and web pages), and Eivind Olsen (MI Director of Development and former Chair of Mensa Norway) for granting us permission to use their online practice IQ test.
This Mensa IQ Challenge is provided for entertainment purposes only, and your score will not qualify you for Mensa. But, if you’re pleased with your score, you might want to consider taking a properly administered and supervised IQ test. If so, here’s where you can find your national Mensa’s website, email address, and other information.
The engine supports multiple languages, which are selected according your browser’s preference(s). Currently supported languages are English, French, Icelandic, Italian, Spanish, Hungarian, and Norwegian, but others will be added in time. Of course your local Mensa organisation may have similar practice tests available in your first language. Why not contact them and find out?
