What’s RIGHT With You?

We gave you guys some shit for possibly being afflicted with Asperger syndrome, which, as previously stated, there is NOTHING wrong with having. It was merely an observation on our parts that many of you are socially awkward, often fail to demonstrate empathy for your peers, and are prone to restricted patterns of behavior such as hitting the submit button over and over and over again when trying to comment, and that the confluence of those symptoms might lead to a professional diagnosis of the A. But we’ve *also* noticed occasionally flashes of insight around these parts and, very occasionally, brilliance. One might even make the claim that some of you could qualify for MENSA membership. Or could you? Take this quiz and post your results. Knowing the lot of you, we’re going to put the over/under at 5 and take the under. Again, it would be helpful and add a little more color to the situation if you also told us where you’re employed but no pressure on that end.

    I find it very hard to believe this is a real Mensa test, especially when incorrect grammar is used on one answers (if you type in the answer using correct grammar, it says false…if you type it in incorrectly, it says true).

    95th percentile (around a 720) on the GMAT gets you into Mensa. I would guess a lot of people on here have at least that.

    Mensa has dumbed down its standards so that I now qualify from an ACT test that I took in 1984.
    My 10 year old daughter qualifies, but she is much smarter and hopefully will avoid corporate finance.

    You only need an IQ in the low 130′s for MENSA. Of course, that is higher than most here who think they are pretty smart (i.e. anybody who took this test seriously).
    #32 = brilliant. Honorable mention to #73
