…because I did. I’ve been wanting to since high school (which seems eons ago already, come to think of it) and I finally gave in and went. And took it. And felt molested intellectually, afterwards. The day after the Elation Buffet Launch, I did. I mean, we did.
Here’s the thing: If I don’t pass, you’ll never find out. If I do, however, that’s a different story. And by “story,” I actually meant sorry. Sorry because you’ll never hear the end of it. Imagine the state of my posts, post passing Mensa:
“Khthul khult tuhklthuu. Menkrukhldt.” That’s Mensan for “I’m srsly awesome, you’re not.” All this lower-IQ speak by trying to translate Mensan to English is making my IQ drop. Back to regular programming… Khukldhrrrtlidtl, umdtkhrrl hkthul!
Got the picture? I mean, got the Fritzparazzi-Mensan picture?!
Yeah, somewhere in those lines. Sad ain’t it?
Dickery notwithstanding, we were told that IQ exams in league with the Mensa test could cost you at least P1,500. You get to only pay P500 (and P300 for students who can present a valid ID) for the IQ Challenge slated on November 30, 2008 at Fully Booked in Bonifacio High Street in Serendra, Taguig City.
The Mensa IQ challenge is explained in the following paragraphs:
“The only criterion for Mensa membership is to score within the top 2% (98th percentile and up) of the test. The test is culture-fair and does not test for math or language skills.
Limited slots are available to those interested in taking the Mensa test. To avail of these slots, interested parties can pre-register at the online facility available at mensaphilippines.blogspot.com. The deadline for pre-registration is before 12 midnight of November 28.
Mensa has over 100,000 members in over 80 countries worldwide. Actress/Olympian archer Geena Davis, comedian John Cleese and science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov are some of the more prominent Mensa members.”
If like me you are still in the dark as to what IQ level you have, then this one’s the one to beat, pass or fail. Not passing may mean we are not in the top 2% of the population. IQ test results, however, can’t make any of us lesser rock stars. NOTHING CAN! I mean, come on, share my gloating lime light with me should I pass (I imagined it could be lonely up there LOLOLOLOL)! I and 5 others took the advanced Challenge last Saturday without as much as a single preparation nor idea what the questions would be like (no clues on what to expect here, so move along, people! LOL). Also, think about it, if I don’t pass and you do, you can make ME not hear the end of it! That’s a sweet deal right there!
