     @augustus I've gotten the real in-person evaluation, when I told the guy that I don't believe in the test he raised it from 135 to 150

     @augustus there's a way to convert united states SAT scores to IQ scores. if the SAT was administered on a 2400 point scale that year, it has to be converted to a 1600 point scale first. then a table converts the SAT score to an IQ score. I'm supposed to have 135 according to the SAT conversion but the fake test on mensa.no kicked my ass.
     
     my dad says he took the SAT after drinking and using cocaine all night, and he saved some cocaine for the morning. it wore off half way through and he wanted to puke, but his SAT score was still worth at least 130 IQ points. my mom did so badly on the SAT that she refused to tell me her score. she still finished grad school with one of those silly latin titles.

     @goatmeal your score depends on whatever normalized distribution its compared against and how they get that sample and how representative it is, is never clear

     @augustus i got 125. looking at the last bunch of these my brain starts to kind of just turn into mush lol, i'm sure that it starts going from simple pattern recognition to something like actual math and that's when my brain shuts off xD

     it is something though where if i was taught how the patterns i got wrong were supposed to work, i would be like "oohhhh that makes sense!" and i'd probably do better the next time around, which makes this test and a lot of other IQ tests kind of pointless. in fact, most tests in general are more "how much of what you have been taught can you apply in a specific setting?" rather than "how smart are you?"

     i never took the sat but i did take the act. can't remember my exact score but i got near perfect on both english and reading, was average in science but i didn't finish in time, and i didn't even get halfway through the math questions so i did pretty bad there lol. i think my final score was like 26 or 27.

     @beardalaxy yeah that's the only reason my score was what it was, because I've done these tests a lot and know how they work
