Off to take my Mensa entrance exam.

Thanks for wishing me luck

The exam was pretty much a collection of children's games, number of coins to make up an amount, simple algebra word problems, what image is most like/unlike the first, which image is most similar to the other 3, remembering a story, what word is the most similar to the first, how would you break up a shape to make another shape, who greeted who, who is older/younger, rewrite a group of words to make a sentence and is it true or false, etc.

First test, got about 35/50 in 12 minutes (you arent expected to complete them). Second test; had to guess on a math problem (I hate percentages and it didnt translate well to a fraction), guessed on a change problem (last problem, not enough time to look at the possible answers), guessed on 3 words I was unfamiliar with, and guessed on 2 of the remembering the story they said at the beginning of the exam. But all and all I think I did fairly well, none of it was what I expected. The change problems were looking at a table saying a number of nickles/dimes/etc then stating the letter. I didnt have to do a single linear approximation, and there was no real shape pattern recognition.

Oh, and, while I do think I did well, because I guessed on a few of them I think I may have failed. If I didnt then I pity the state of humanity that would lead to anything but getting all of them right being in the top 2% intelligence-wise.
