Got the key again. 74 lame. Thought I could've done better. I think the pictures screwed me. The leaf and the orientations (that section I was struggling for time especially that leaf; was it the one with the jagged edges, or the branched out striations? decisions decisions! the last two sections were finished with minutes to spare, less abstract) I liked the word associations though; they were pretty straight forward.

Congratulations!
You scored a 67 on the Mensa Home Test.Scores between 63 and 70 from the online test are above the 86th percentile and indicate an approximate IQ range between 116 and 125. This high score indicates a strong possibility that you may qualify for membership in Mensa!
I guessed most the word ones. Never good wif English >.<
GL working working out what some of those pictures are or even seeing some of the detail in one of them.
Remember it's age adjusted, you get dumber as you get older, so the absolute score may not be enough. 70 for me which is 116-125 or top 14% (top 5-10% in school so not far off/not done too much damage over the years).

Unlike what they're claiming, I doubt this test is sufficient at measuring innate intelligence and seems heavily weighted towards real-world experience, which is often based on entirely arbitrary life choices.
Be warned that the questions that ask to spot the similarities/differences in pattern are actually asking about the objects portrayed in the pictures and not the images themselves. Also, many of images are uncommonly poor quality.
Username3RR0r on 10/01/2013 - 00:19 ¶I think while 2 were the same shape, one was upside-down, not merely rotated ?
- Strand0410 on 10/01/2013 - 00:23 ¶
That's a question where they're actually asking for the object portrayed (the blocks) and not a rotatable image. IIRC, if you reject the obviously incorrect options (differing numbers/position of cubes), you have two with the identical construction as the first image, but one is also flipped upside-down whereas the correct answer is simply turned on its base.
EDIT: ^Explained. This one was a head-scratcher since I read it a bit literally and spent my surplus time fruitlessly trying to match #line/intersections with the first image.
- Strand0410 on 10/01/2013 - 00:36 ¶
Object in space. Again, it came down to 'more right' vs 'less right.' If you want to split hairs, they really should have added 'rotation on a single plane,' but that's the least of my misgivings regarding the veracity of this test.
mrdavedave on 10/01/2013 - 00:27 ¶I'd like to know this as well. I just got tested and it gave me an 8 and then told me to see a doctor!

Darkstyles on 10/01/2013 - 00:55 ¶The site's so laggy, on my wifi I can load every other site fine but not Mensa - either it's being ozbargained or they're not really smart…

Even having all the smartest people in one group couldn't prevent OzBargainers from crashing the site :D

Completed the test but my results are lagging out :(

I'm a quiet spitter I'll have you know. And I certainly don't hiss - that would just be weird…

"Do llamas spit? This is probably the most frequent question llama owners are asked. The truth is that they do spit, but usually only at other llamas and nearly always over food. Most people think all llamas spit at people, which is an impression you've gotten from a visit to a petting zoo. A petting zoo isn't a good environment for a llama, because llamas are herd animals."

+3 votesMENSA normally pay for the upkeep of their website (inc paying for download speed) by the entry cost to these tests.
This test took longer to load than it did to complete!
edit - I read the bottom of their website and it said something like "Our web Hosting services are brought to you by Catch of the Day" !!
