Mensa Workout: Just for Fun

mensa I was looking around at some popular Del.icio.us bookmarks and spotted one linking to the Mensa Workout. The workout is a quiz you can use to get a general idea about what the actual Mensa test may be like. My score: 18 out of 30 (a little low, but you could always pass). I was disappointed I missed the dual-triangle question though - seems like I had to use that exact formula while building my son’s bookcase over the summer.. wink

I’ve never paid much attention to Mensa. My feeling about it was it was a group of intellectuals who talked about physics all the time. But it looks like there are quite a few different special interest groups.

From the Mensa site:

Whatever your passion, there’s almost certain to be a Special Interest Group (SIG) filled with other Mensans who share it! Mensa offers approximately 200 SIGs, in mind-boggling profusion from African Violets to zoology. Along the way you’ll find microbiology, and systems analysis, but you’ll also find Sherlock Holmes, chocolate and Star Trek. There are the expected: biochemistry, space science, economics — and the unexpected: poker, roller-skating, scuba diving, UFOs and witchcraft. There are SIGs for breadmaking, winemaking, cartooning, silversmithing, and clowning. Heraldry, semantics and Egyptology co-exist with beekeeping, motorcycling and tap dancing. Sports SIGs cover the classics (baseball, basketball, and football) and the not-so-classic (skeet shooting, hang gliding, skydiving). And any Mensan who can’t find a SIG to join can easily start one.
