That's too bad it's only a few points from the cutoff. MENSA in my country is usually only 130-132 for Wechsler or 148 Cattell. I've never felt the need to take a legit test but I also think I would have done better when I was younger. Part of the test is speed, which does generally get harder as you age (and is one of the reasons many geniuses did some of their best work when they were young). I remember scoring 139 and 142 on some comparative tests many years ago, but I doubt I would fair as well now. I have a background in the sciences and we tend to have the right type of skills for those exams. I don't think it is a very accurate assessment of intelligence as a whole though, which also deals with things like intuition and being able to look at the big picture of things, as well as original thinking. I did get a perfect score on the argumentation essays for the GRE, which was the top 1% of grad students, and most grad students tend to have above average intelligence, so that's good enough for me.

Good morning, I'm very happy with the result because I actually had to go to the toilet during the 90 minute test and was therefore unable to concentrate on certain questions. That's why I assume that the test results of 135 and 137 that were last taken online are correct. With the letter I received an offer from Mensa to repeat the test in one year free of charge, probably because the current result was so close to 130. But I had a different motivation for the test. This won't do me any good in a year.Intelligence may be more complex than the results of such tests determine. For example, I could continue to receive my current salary for around 1,500 years if my company paid out the value of the measurable added value I created (without taking interest into account). The problem with such statements is that they assume that someone who is above-average intelligent also wants to be very rich and have a career.I had the opportunity to spend several days with Samuel Beckett in Paris in the 80s and declined, even though he is my favorite writer. I was invited to Shimon Peres' private birthday party at the Jerusalem Hilton in 1985 and said no. Both would probably have opened many doors for me in the rest of my life. But does it have something to do with a lack of intelligence to reject such offers?What I mean by this is that most objections to the classical concept of intelligence are argued in this way and are simply wrong. That is my point of view.
