clara1548 that's the point. she laughed because she did not understand the joke. 😹

I understood it and it's as funny as seeing someone kill a cat

it wasn't even a joke. It's more like a fact. Not even funny...

It's not even really a joke. What's the punchline? It essentially sounds like saying "black holes have event horizons. *ba-dum-tshhh* " I let go of all slack of course because he's a kid and when I was a kid around his age I likely would have found it to be a "good one" just as much after recently learning about black holes because it's more of a validation of insider knowledge. One of those "if you know, you know" kind of memes, but now we have videos explaining black holes with tens of millions of views so everybody knows I'm just annoyed they keep using Jeapordy-style facts as examples of why they're in "The top 2% above all others that nobody else is smart enough to understand". The father at the very least seems to actually be up to something...

ah, yes. A fellow 5Head

Don't smarter people have much lower birth rates on average?

It’s not a perfect measure of intelligence. I made a top 2%. The people seem a bit... weird. I wouldn’t put it on my resume haha.

@@MLS0000 It doesn't matter. Either I'm lying or not. If you're merely curious, well, that's trivial and irrelevant.

So you performed what most people would consider a menial task and a kid surmised incorrectly that you were stupid. Boo hoo.

People will profile and make negative assumptions about others based on appearances, geographical prejudices, and other superficialities. Whoever you are and whatever you represent - somebody isn’t going to like it. One must merely soldier on. By the way, congratulations on being super smart and accomplished.

if steven hocking was so smart y he couldnt walk

I mean, as the Mensa member in this video working at the particle collider demonstrated, it is completely possible to do both. Smart people can have hobbies/pastimes, and if Mensa provides a support network for likeminded people and a way to relax and have fun with likeminded people, great! As long as they’re not hurting anybody, great.

Shakira does not have an IQ of 139. She does would not know to mirror the top left pattern pattern and xnor it with the pattern to the right of it in the same sequence to get the pattern in the top middle of the matrice on the second sequence, then do it again to get the top right matrice on the 3rd sequence. I promise.

Also the joke is not funny at all. Humour has to relate to the ironic, everyday parts of life.

Well you’re actually wrong. It’s not funny but it the even horizon is indeed a space. A two dimensional space, but a space nonetheless. Objects could exist in the event horizon as two dimensional objects(or crossections of three dimensional ones.)

If you took the SAT or GRE test in 1994 or earlier, potentially you could use the scores to qualify. Or the military general aptitude test in 1980 or earlier. This points to one of the problems with Mensa. The membership of the organization is very old, and one of the reasons why is because the organization makes it too difficult for qualified people to join. Someone who took the SAT in 1994 is at least 45 years old today. Someone who took the GRE in 1994 probably is at least 49 years old today. Someone who took the military test battery in 1980 is at least 59 years old at this exact moment (06-23). The reason why Mensa will not take newer versions of common tests has to do with the organization's fantasies of exclusivity. They needn't worry. Someone who fakes their way in will soon drop out of their own accord. I took the GRE general test five times between 1974 and 1992 and again in 2019. The 2019 version of the test was no different than the earlier version which Mensa does accept. Gen Xers and Millennials might join. Very few of them are going to go out of their way to take an IQ that they might or might not be up for. I used the oldest GRE score to qualify for Mensa. I still have every mailed score report. All of them qualified for Mensa, even the one I bombed by own estimation. The one I took in 2019 would have qualified me too, if Mensa would have accepted it. So would my SAT score from the 1960s, if I still had the score report. I don't.

Only 30-40 members were active in the Detroit area chapter when I was active many years ago but there were over 4000 within driving distance. The actives tended to drive off the more normal socially well adjusted ones. I recognize some of those in this video and I haven't been to a meeting in well over ten years; it's the same ol people I never really liked.. Lederer's son aided in massive fraud on a poker website and Lederer covered for him lying about the players getting restitution when I asked him about it. Find smart people...WHO YOU LIKE.

depends on if you are smart enough. being one in an indication but not always accurate.

No

you’re off by one point you’re not smart smh

Lmao

smh what a bad score

@Reid James It may be a question limited by knowledge, but the filtering and recalling of the word is a measure of intelligence. In short, you're unlikely to get a false positive for high intelligence from such a question (provided it's a novel question), but you may get a false negative for high intelligence if the base knowledge isn't there.

A well constructed I.Q. test contains a variety of question types. General knowledge items are mixed in with verbal and numerical questions.

@Tom Koller 8 years man, that nigga prolly had a different perspective at that time

I have a 145 iq and have been to places similar to this, but trying to converse with people like this, especially when they're surrounded by people with the same idiosyncrasies can be extremely exhausting and can leave you in a bad mood lol.

I’ve popped in an out of Mensa over the past 40 years or so, sometimes paying my dues, sometimes not. The Mensa Bulletin usually has some interesting articles. The SIGHT group can be very helpful to travelers. Most non-members object in principle to the existence of an exclusive, I.Q.-based group. They don’t want to hear about the benefits of Mensa membership or that many members are productive citizens and occasionally highly accomplished professionals.

lorilemonade EQ is a quality that can be equally as important or more when it comes to being successful. The proctor for my test looked and smelled like a homeless dude.

Where do you get that notion from? Sounds like a stereotype.

lorilemonade I think the geniuses drawn to this group lack common sense or ability to make friends. The ones who don’t need help making friends, don’t need Mensa. So that’s not a fair statement.

I doubt any of them are "geniuses". The mensa test is not a real iq test. One of the guys in the video (you can see his name tag), dr Ronald Allan Charles, went to a university with an acceptance rate of 81%.

@@filip9220 to be fair, depending on the university, its acceptance rate may not be a good indicator of quality of education. For example the uni im going to has very low application numbers so its around 90%, however graduation rate says it all. 37% hahahahahahaha. Its funny when people realize school isnt just for parties and drinking.

@@nickdavis965 37% graduation rate because your school accepts a bunch of scrubs.

@@filip9220 Yep that is true, everyone that goes is local and wants to treat it like part 2 of high school. Luckily the engineering school is really, really great and underrated and thats why im going.

But they don’t fit in. Arn’t generally accepted. Hence the need for a club. I mean, I have AS. IQ of 133. Dating for example…It’s hard to find somebody who’s the same species. 🤣 I don’t care how smart somebody is, only that they use what they have. So Mensa is appealing to me because those people seem highly relatable. People have all kinds of reasons for wanting to join. If I get in it’ll be more or less all I have. Very little family, all of my friends are gone. I wouldn’t consider myself all that smart, if me and you did some maths you’d win I guarantee! But I just don’t fit into society very well what with the autism and all.

Then your IQ Isn't really 161

How you know about your 161 % IQ, when the test MENSA told you something else?

@@MrSille332 Yes is still could be, depending on the test. Don't you know most people tend to score really high on one type of iq test and average on others.

@@Art1cM0k3yz thats true but the mensa test is said to be acurate. Not Some facebook iq test.

@@MrSille332 mensa test is a mostly verbal IQ test not spatial.

They do…

I completely disagree with this. For people who have IQs above 150, people who barely get into Mensa are the lower bound of their communication range (if they even are in their communication range). Allowing people with IQs less than 132 would create less of an incentive for the ultra highIQ people to join, which is a b8g deal because there aren't many ultra high iqnsocieties out there.

⁠@@sebastianw.6637there might be a bit too much fixation on the number alone, here. Richard Feynman was tested as having an IQ of 124 in high school, yet he is one of the most accomplished physicists of the 20th century. He may have had an astonishingly high “quantitative IQ”, but maybe his verbal intelligence was lacking, for example. Malcolm Gladwell’s book Outliers describes how often, Nobel Prize winners come from the 115-130 IQ range. Do you think that Mensans would be happy to let Feynman or other Nobel Prize winners with IQ < 132 into Mensa if they wanted to get in despite their IQ technically being lower than 132? I would bet, yes. Perhaps an individual who is especially well-educated and/or especially good at a certain component of IQ, such as verbal or math, can hold a conversation with a 150+ IQ individual that is stimulating for both of them, no problem. Maybe I’m just writing this as a cope because I think my IQ is right around the 132 range based on the SAT score that I got with almost zero studying but I’m afraid that if I actually take an IQ test, it’ll come out as 130 and then I won’t be let into Mensa. But should I even want to get into Mensa?

Gandachu yes you do go and join find i fuck body

+Gandachu It depends on what scale your I.Q. was measured on. Mensa Illegibility level is for 130 I.Q. and above on the Wechsler Scale, - Standard Deviation 15 132 I.Q. and above on the Stanford-Binet Scale - Standard Deviation 16 and 148 I.Q. and above on the Cattell Scale - Stanford Deviation 24 Some internet tests are very unrealistic and often greatly enhance the I.Q. score giving a false I.Q. Cheers - Mike

+Mike Fuller Do you know of any decent internet tests which can be used as a preliminary measure?

+James Taylor No! 'SORRY' James! They're all deemed by psychologists as unreliable and inaccurate! Even the Mensa exam is unreliable against having an I.Q. tested by a psychologist and even that is not a reliable I.Q. test! As a general rule of thumb though, if you can remember 8 numbers or more having looked at them for 30 seconds then it is probable you have a high I.Q. 6 memorized numbers is average intelligence. Thanks for contacting me, James! Cheers - Mike

Mike Fuller Thanks, Mike. I appreciate your reply!

You can't get a membership from an online test Lol

in my own perspective judging peoples knowledge cant be judge by your answers on a sheet of paper.. i know a lot of smart people that have an iq of 100 or 100 bellow yet theyre really successful in life.. i dont know if the fact are real but obama has an iq of 105 yet hes one of the wisest man there is

This may be the first intelligent comment I've seen. But if what you said is true ud have to agree sexuality is a devolved state. Almost a choice

All the women there were fat

Did you take the test, and were you able to join Mensa (in Belgium or France)?

@@nicolasgoossens absolutely. I have taken the Mensa test because it was way cheaper. Also I didn't care about detailed results concerning my degree of intelligence. It's mostly mental masturbation I think (having joined Mensa 9 years ago 😂). But Mensa is a good way to meet interesting people. A number of bad apples too... It is what it is... Anyway it's possible that some people fail at the Mensa test and still are found belonging to the top 2% by a regular test. But no matter what happens: the people you meet and the moments you share are more important than the numbers written on your or their intelligence assessments.

Nice.

Thanks Timothy!

he doesn't think, therefore he doesn't exist, not very funny.

Thanks dori44!

Yea… I suppose being a physicist at a research lab is considered "doing nothing productive." People always like to console themselves with the false premise that if someone has x positive trait going for them (that they themselves are lacking), then by their own wistful egalitarian standards, they have to be missing out on other aspects of life. This just isn't correct and is indicative of the utilization of emotion rather than logic in coming to a conclusion. This very phenomenon is an example of the reason for Mensa existing in the first place.

Nice, you opened my eyes. I will take your words as a new lesson. Continue helping our world.

I'monlyjesting but most of them don't Most of these Mensa members are verbal geniuses Pseudo intellect
