Thank you very much, I completely agree with you, just would like to add that in some situations, controlling your emotions and not loosing contact with reality may save your life.
Thank you, Douglas! I wonder if there is a word for using one's intelligence to benefit the common good...it's more than just "altruism" it's almost like engineered altruism or altruistic engineering....🤔
I can't make a copy and pretend to be you?? Dang 😂 I just took the test out of curiosity in July and actually got in, which was surprising. Though not entirely because I'm definitely a nerd 🤓
Don't go around passing IQ tests...Focus on your objectives, work hard and try to attain them...A lot of high IQ individuals turn out to be unsuccesful in life
Since the members of Mensa couldn't agree on what the group should be about, it just ended up officially being a social group where people with an IQ of 130 or more could hang out with each other. Of course, there are several cliques within it, and those can privately pursue whatever common goal they have.
I think it is indeed a non-profit, but they still have expenses to pay. So they do collect membership dues, but my understanding would be that their income must equal their expenses. They wouldn't have shareholders who keep any extra profits.
You should address the nature of ideological possession. How people identify with certain groups and adopt worldviews for emotional reasons, whether a political or scientific paradigm, instead of doing their own research into contentious issues, studying opposing viewpoints, and coming to their own conclusions. Most people treat politics like a spectator sport instead of a lifelong research project. They join team "liberal" or "conservative", team "left" or team "right", team blue or team red, and then they let talking heads on television tell them what they should think, and how they should FEEL about important issues. Then they can't engage in independent thinking because if they ever challenge any of the tenets of their quasi-religious political ideology, they risk an identity crisis and social ostracization. Thus, their brains protect them through cognitive biases like confirmation bias, groupthink, and the Semmelweis Reflex.
Absolutely! Our inclination toward tribes is so engrained from evolution. I think one of the more innocuous versions is people identifying with their favorite sports team, but, as you point out, there are also political/religious/ideological tribes, which arguably do more damage to society than professional sports. I'm not sure what the solution is, though. Any ideas?
Oh, the part at the end? I suppose you're right. I think CBT, DBT, REBT, etc...because of their fancy names...almost take on a reputation of being more complex than they really are. No one needs a professor to teach them how to challenge their own thoughts. An ability to question one's mind is an ability that every human being deserves.
If you're asking why I did it, I don't even remember. If you're asking why someone would benefit from it, there are networking opportunities to meet other people.
I took the supervised British Mensa IQ tests on the 2nd of July, 2016. I scored in the 'High Average' range. So far from 'Gifted' level. I admire highly intelligent people, as long as they are not nasty, but lol, I'll certainly never have the status of philosopher at the International Society for Philosophical Enquiry.
Yes, I love when I'm talking with an intelligent person and can tell they are tracking with whoever is talking and can respond with something that makes a lot of sense
what do you think about the mensa denmark online tests. ive heard that you have a good chance of passing if you score 120+ on the test. i should be able to pass but im really hesitant.
Yes l had to find out what my l,Q was so l took all this test and got over 140 on most of them at the end my I,Q was 148 which is not bad Mensa have scores of about that to the 150's .P.S and could of not cheated on the test because half the world seen me take them live .🤗📚📚📚📚.
Im not good at maths , i got 1600 bcs i see it as a pattern .. the first 2 numbers , she likes it bigger , and the other 2 are smaller.. i got 29/33 on the mensa new zealand pre test btw..
I scored 131 on mensa norway, 130 on mensa Dk, and 33/36 on the RAPM Set 2 25/40 minutes above 132 IQ I think. Have you taken any of these tests? And did you score high one? I'm considering taking the real one once covid restrictions are lifted in my area. Yeah, the first iq test I ever took was the mensa norway and all of these scores are first attempts (people always ask if they're first attempts, which they obviously are idk why anyone would study this boring genre of iq testing).
@@realPidge not for long, i mean mensa is founded on a completely erroneous idea about I.Q test.

@@ExistenceFirst 146.35 for the Glia Society and 190 for the highly exclusive Giga Society, which has seen only 11 members in the span of 30 years so far. Regular tests don't measure that high, so tests with much more difficult questions are used and there is no actual time limit, because the questions are challenging enough. One learns where his absolute limit to raw intelligence is regardless the speed factor. There is a testing fee, though, but the membership for the Socities are free.
@@ExistenceFirst there are some interviews with them on In-Sight Publishing. However, most of them are very busy in real life and are hardly active within their small socities.
I'd love to chat with you sometime, dude. To talk about ideas and some of these same topics. I also record myself, with my latest topic being "The people who hate humanity are the people who simply don't think. And, Overthinking is genius, Don't be afraid of Overthinking" but I dunno what would be a good way to share it all. I'd love to chat with you some time dude, you got discord? Or just good ol email?
I was getting a gargantuan ego last year. Then I wanted to prove to everyone that I did have a HUGE Brain. Just got the results from a Mensa iq test , totally failed. I was feeling great about myself too. I guess it was some sort of psychological defense mechanism to fight against depression. Hello broke mundane sad life. I thought I had everything figured out, the meaning, purpose, where god is……smh. I even convinced myself that what was taught to us by accomplished scientists and history professors was all a lie. I believed our ancient ancestors of science. So I now know our ancestors took a lot of magic mushrooms. RIP Dreams. Hello minimum wage. I’m telling myself right now these are tears of joy. TM
Yes, the ego has slowed me down so much because it made me start to disrespect reality. I like to say that a human being should bow down to no one and nothing else except for reality. Example: someone can go on Shark Tank with some new gadget that they think is genius, but at the end of the day, it either sells or it doesn't. Either it's profitable or it's not. Imagine Blockbuster Video being like "No, people will always love VHS and blue ray no matter how easy streaming becomes." The world will answer with its truth.
Sorry to hear that. What did you score? If you scored above 100 don't even think for a moment that's a bad result. There's so much to do in life, that when something feels like it's narrowing down your options and possibilities, it's probably a good thing. I hope you are feeling better now 💞
Because I have autism and can seem really dumb or not able fluently participate in conversation. Then I can say - I am not stupid, I just think differently and I am a member of Mensa actually. Also you can absolutely prepare for the test but it is not about memorizing answers. It is about speed and the way of thinking about those problems.
@@kikitauer real intelligence is to contribute to humanity, I really hate how unintelligent people are being celebrated just to make them "feel good". The only goal of humanity should be to populate the universe and to do that we need genetically superior people!

The current culture of celebrating disabilities is very counterproductive and prevents humanity from achieving greatness!

Congrats on MENSA! like the idea of using intelligence to (my thinking) eliminate hunger, smash racism, bring a sense of liberty to all.

You can’t eliminate racism. Racism is embedded in human nature.
It can't be that easy..... those questions were downright elementary. BUT, It'll be fun trying it! Thanks.

i got all of them right holy moly are the questions on the test this easy?
Honestly I don't remember. It's been a while
Some questions are easy, but you have to answer them fairly quickly so you do not run out of time for the section.
I have dyslexia so I would struggle so hard on the maths and reading part, but the shapes seem so easy for me
math dyslexia is Dyscalculia
so if you have dyscalculia and dyslexia if you have trouble with the 2
(just saying, no one probably cares)
I’m the exact same, when looking at the patterns and shapes problems they come to me quickly but I’m hopeless with the reading
Then take the cultural fairness test
I’m a Mensa member. I like the organization. Most people object to the existence of Mensa (and like organizations). I don’t care what you think.
Mensa is great business to collect much money from people. Very interesting.
Someone didn't meet the requirements lol
I think it is indeed a non-profit, but they still have expenses to pay. So they do collect membership dues, but my understanding would be that their income must equal their expenses. They wouldn't have shareholders who keep any extra profits.
