<p>The problem with the IQ thing is that as you get older and say your IQ stays the same or even rises a bit, your IQ will decrease as your age increases....unless you start becoming more intelligent and by the time you are 70 you are a super, super genius</p>
<p>Is anybody here in Mensa?</p>
<p>I am, I took their test, so I don't know what my IQ score is.</p>
<p>Hm... I'm personally opposed to high-IQ societies. Not because I don't possess the intelligence capital, but because I think they're a waste of time. To each their own, however.</p>
<p>I actually took the test to see if I could do it, I really couldn't care less about the title of a high-IQ society. I went to a convention this year and had a fabulous time with very nice people. I learned how to juggle, to ballroom dance, and I got to disect some organs which plays into my interest in medicine. I enjoyed myself and have found that that's what matters in the end.
I took the test to see what I could do, I don't brag about being in Mensa, and I enjoy myself if I have the opportunity to attend a gathering, I have to disagree that it's a waste of time.</p>
<p>That was a great argument in favor of the organization. Thank you.</p>
<p>sr6622, maybe some ap psych would help you out. remember that crystallized intelligence generally increases with age until very old age (verbal and semantic memory) while fluid intelligence (the ability to quickly solve problems) decreases.</p>
<p>I'm not sure what my IQ is now, but it was 149 when I was in 3rd grade. A psychologist tested me and declared me gifted. Yay.</p>
