    If it’s so meaningless why don’t you share some with everyone else?

      Sure… the trick to scoring high is being familiar with the type of test and what they’re looking for. Solve some puzzles on the mensa website and take a few different online IQ tests, and THEN do one of the official tests, and you’ll be more likely to know at a glance if one of your answers fits what they think it should be or not.

      But for the most part, unless you’re intentionally trying to understand a learning or thinking issue you have (with the assistance of a professional psychologist), or just find them fun, there’s no reason to take them.
