I have been feeling a little sensitive lately, my feelings of self-worth have taken a bit of a dip and I needed a bit of an ego boost. I came across this intriguing little test supplied by The Grauniad. I scored 16 out of a possible 25 which means, it helpfully informs me, that I am paid far less than I am worth and confirms my IQ at around 116. I am not sure if this helps my ego or boosts my sense of martyrdom.

It would be interesting to see how others fare...

Your self worth is dipping?

I was unable to fill in an appropriate job description so l snatched 'creative,' and l'm sure the lowest salary was more than all you lovely tax payers give me too.;)

Got 19, creatively guessing. :)
 
I would never have known it. I hate mathematical type questions and usually avoid them. In the spirit of good Accy Webness I took the test and scored 19. I am not paid nearly enough for my intelligence level. If anyone has any highly paid jobs going, for someone with above average IQ please send me a pm..:D

I scored 17. It seems, like most of us, I am vastly underpaid.
 
Way over my head, just call me thick when it comes to maths.I was always way down the bottom in maths test at school. Age has made me none the wiser. lol
 
I'm well chuffed, got 21 and I'm obviously a genius!!! ha ha, nah was just always good at maths but it was the 3D shapes that did me in!

I got 17 - does that mean I'm smarter than you?

I'm not sure what it means, luvvie - if indeed it means anything at all. But if it would make you happy then, yes, I suppose...

Gayle is smarter than Acrylic-Bob.

But remember there are others smarter than both of us...!

When last tested (properly, using the Wechsler AI Test) I got a ridiculous score - so I do think there is a knack to IQ tests. There is also a cultural element, but don't get me started on that. Went to a Mensa meeting once, and a sadder lot of bores I have seldom come across. Out of all these genius level brains, I think there were only a couple who had even first degrees, but all had an enormous idea of their own intelligence!

(In case you are wondering, I tested at 146, so why am I not running something major and making a fortune?)
 
Oh I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one who found Mensa boring. The tests are flawed too I agree because there is a cultural element to them and if you've come across certain thngs before then you'll be familiar with them where others wouldn't be.

I like the spacial type puzzles better than the mathematical ones but I don't know what that says about me.
 
People that declare their genius are usually as thick as two short planks.

Mensa is the Daily Telegraph reader's answer to train spotters, except they will have matching anoraks, bought from the weekend supplements.
