I took an OFFICIAL Mensa IQ Test

In conclusion, I got scammed. (Not really I’m just dumb).

My Socials:

For the longest time, I’ve wanted to take a real IQ Test. To be honest, I used to be really insecure about my intelligence and how smart I am when I was younger, so that’s probably why I cared so much.

I did quite a bit of research on IQ Tests while making this video, and I found out there’s actually multiple different well-accepted IQ tests, but the most prominent and widely accepted is the Weschler Adult Intelligence Test.
I also watched IQ test videos from Youtubers like Logan Paul, XQC, PewDiePie, Jubilee, Adin Ross, and RiceGum. Additionally, I watched those "Test your IQ" videos on Youtube, which were INTERESTING to say the least (they were nothing like actual IQ tests).

Would I recommend you take an IQ test? No. Absolutely not. LOL I get it's kind of hypocritical for me to say that right after taking one, but I think getting your actual IQ score given back to you can be really detrimental to your self esteem and mindset. I think focusing on something as trivial as an IQ score can distract from the WAY more important traits to success and happiness like wisdom, hard work, and optimism. Focusing on IQ score will do nothing but give your mind a reason to justify or expect an outcome based on a genetic factor that is completely out of your control. I think the ONLY thing we should focus on in life is how much effort we put in, and how much knowledge we've accumulated.

Once again thanks for watching (LIKE SUBSCRIBE AND HIT THAT BELL BUTTON ESKETIT), and have a great day!

I have never heard of people talking about IQ testing outside of the internet and even then I've just never factored in a high IQ into to my decision making for whether or not someone is intelligent. I've gone throughout my life identifying intelligence in different ways because I've always thought that intelligence is more complicated than a summed score. I still denounce IQ and the typical argument people come up with is how it is one of the most successful concepts created in psychology in the past 100 years. If it was truly so successful than the military and schools would still be using it on a regular basis to identify giftedness and etc. It's still highly controversial for an exact reason as well. You literally need to go out of your way nowadays to get it tested since it's not used to the level at which it used to be. I just don't get how people can't recognize intelligence based off literally anything else besides an IQ test, Richard Feynman is a perfect example of people questioning IQ's validity since Richard Feynman was a much more brilliant man than what his IQ test he took said. All in all IQ really is insignificant and is only relevant within the realms of the internet, there are many different ways to identify intelligence.

You can get your score report sent to a psychologist and they can give you your actual scores, including your total battery intelligence and total intelligence. Also the test you took is called the Reynolds’s Adaptable Intelligence Test or RAIT, Mensa uses actual IQ tests for these purposes.

Mensa iq test (the one on google), in it all the questions are based on finding the answer to fit the sequence. So it is not rly a iq test at all. As iq test comprises of many topics and not just finding the next pattern.

[jerry]

the perfect scam. It abuses the testers insecurity

[broannoying]

If you refused to pay for a Mensa or any other IQ test, Congrats ! You are already proven smarter than 90% of the people.



PS. this guy is funny af I'm subbing.

According to the official website, Mensa membership carries a number of tangible benefits including things like discounts on Dell computers.

I was looking into Mensa to track IQ after a bad head injury. It seems like there’s no good way to track that

[GeneOh]

I don't know about today, but you used to be able to buy a self administered IQ test at local book stores.

[Jdogfillip]

Bro that umong us prank was actually pretty funny. 😂

[carolyn]

Lol how long was the test like the number of questions and the time it took for you to complete?

[bob]

His Adam’s apple is sharper than a knife lmao 😂

[ahmadshabana]

there are many angle to measure intelligence since intelligence it something subjective and IQ test being 1 of them, so far i took the test and got my score back.it depends on which country you took the test, and i paid for around $15 only for the test, not $100

[realsaisito]

Yeah I’m sticking with a free Iq test that tells me I have a 161 Iq 😂 screw that

[uthsavb]

bro got amung us cheeks clappin score (thats pretty high)

I also considered the fact that it was a scam: just approve many people and take their money. However, they are registered as a nonprofit. Also, intelligence testing done by organizations is regulated by the government (at least here in California). In the acceptance email you got there should be a name of the supervisory psychologist for your region-- they shoulder some blame if the process is not standardized, and as fair as possible for all takers (which is why they had you come in for the test that feasibly could be done online: to ensure standard conditions aka prevent cheating). For these reasons I don't think it's super scammy.

But yes if somebody joins just to tell others that they are smart, then poo poo to them. There is no "real" utility in being a member, but it does let you connect with other smart humans which is the value provided. I'd recommend you go meet some people. The regional gatherings (I've been told; haven't attended) are where it's at.

I’m not paying a membership it is better to study discreetly, to make progress in silence than to be in Mensa (I think it means cafeteria in Italian). I think it is ALWAYS important to say sorry when you make a mistake or to admit it. And to check your knowledge.

I got "Your IQ lies outside the area that the test is able to measure. We are hoping to extend this area as soon as we have gathered more data."

I'm highly suspicious about iq tests. I think about it as a chess game, if you are a beginner you barely know the rules and every move takes an incredible amount of calculation and pattern recognition, you are highly disorganized and even the number of variables are obscure BUT if you play every day for 5 years your result will change drastically. Are you more intelligent because you can play better ? No, you have knowledge and are trained to recognize formulas and patterns. I think that some people have an incredible background advantage over others but are they really more intelligent? I would like to see the iq results of people that have never seen a test before and the results of the same people one year after intensive training. I imagine an oscillation of at least 20 or 30 points. I'm not saying that some people aren't gifted, clearly they are but the same person studying diligently the test would have a really different result with the same exact intelligence.
