You wrote it on the site to show off? Well done. If you passed him then with brains you have everything in order. Do not rely on the community. You're very able to build their lives and achieve the desired

Why not an MRI test?

They require too much laying still. I have had one done before on my brain (amazingly detailed cd they gave me with all the images on also) Took like 2 hours because after 20 minutes I moved a little then they had to start over.

Its unbelievably hard to just sit still for a long amount of time. It feels like a craving to move Tongue

I don't think they can measure intelligence though, just apart from how much of your brain you are using on contrast MRI.

I passed a mensa test. It was suggested I do it about 12 years ago.

It doesn't test creativity to a good level. Creativity is the real test of intelligence. The idea of thinking outside the box and not within predefined parameters like the mensa iq test.

Unfortunately I'm not creative. I wish for that more than my logical skills.

If you wanna get creative you need a lot of silent time alone:)
Not Reading, Not watching anything, Not talking.
Then try to fill the space with yourself:)

I think intelligence is relative, it depends on who you are comparing it with because even an ant has some form of intelligence.

Everybody is intelligent in their own right.

they're meaningless. they test a super narrow aspect of how someone's brain works. all it does it tell you how good you are at passing iq tests.

I think standardized tests can never fully capture someones level of intelligence. Intelligence is multidimensional. If you do well on a mensa test, sure you are probably intelligent, but only in the specific skills that the test is testing. There can be people that are horrible at the test, but are geniuses in emotional intelligence such as being able to read other peoples gestures or social cues.

Agreed, There can be no true test of intelligence as much as people think there can be.

What people perceive as intelligence is the real question. Everyone is intelligent in their own way or has their own skill set, as you say, even be it empathy or social skills, creativity etc

That was such a poorly disguised brag attempt that people would seriously doubt you are mensa-level intelligent, lol.

Yeah, it was really transparent. And pathetic.
