quote:Incidentally, in response the Michael's point over spelling, there are plenty in mensa who are dyslexic (and my own spelling is atrocious, and would be a lot worse was it not for spell checkers – but ofcourse, a spell checker only tells you that you have spelled a word correctly, not that it was the correct word that you had spelled correctly).
quote:Originally posted by ukmickyAlso maybe correct spelling doesnt count when it comes to someone IQ but shouldn't someone with an high IQ,the type of IQ which mensa are looking for be able to put a proper sentence together, using the correct word terminology and linking everything up so it reads correctly.

quote: nor do i claim to be a genius or even very smart but i am quite bright and happen to be very good at I.Q tests.
quote: Also thanks for the info another someone but i would fear to use my proper tests as all the ones ive taken have been for medical reasons and i would be humiliating to show these tests to other people.
quote:By the way the word you should have used above was spelt and not spelled. SORRY
