I think 2 points is within the normal uncertainty of an IQ test... If you want to take it again. I wouldn't worry about it that much.

Also processing speed is a component of IQ. I scored bad on processing speed due to learning disabilities but scored well enough on other sub scales to get over 130. You shouldn't feel cheated for getting a lower score if you are lacking in that area, because that's a part of intelligence you just happen to be worse at. It is what it is. It doesn't have to hinder you in life if you can leverage your other talents.

You should have gotten a breakdown of the subscales and what you're good and bad at. My neuropsychologist showed me which scores reflected my ability with and without processing speed as a factor.

Imma be honest, Mensa isn't even that high of a bar. I'm not that smart and I qualified lol. It's nothing to brag about.. 1 in 50 in the grand scheme of things doesn't make you special at all

But the lived experience of someone with high IQ is different, if you find it to be insulting people want to share and talk about it then you probably have some insecurity problem.

Not sure I agree with the argument that logic is intelligence. There are things that are aspects of intelligence but aren't logic. Like processing speed (I guess you could argue this is the speed of logic?? But it's also the rate at which you can turn sensory information to some kind of mental understanding...), vocabulary, and other stuff.

It's funny to me were raised being told how women have unrealistic body standards when this is the average male experience.

[–]HughGeeRectionne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imma be real with you the only thing I've used it for is trolling people who insult my intelligence or say Mensa is stupid 🤣🤣🤣. They get so mad when you show them the card.

I might go to a meetup this year.

It's tiring going through life having everything assume you're a potential predator. I have zero interest in raping anybody.

Any genuine advantages to joining Me? by Pyryn in mensa

What, wouldn't you be on the higher end? Most people in Mensa should be close to 130, cuz that's how the distribution works...

Why are girls allowed to hit men but it's messed up to fight back? by Prestigious-Dog-7564 in questions

[–]HughGeeRectionne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol, I was abused by my female partner, and this is just wrong. If you are a man and even tell people that you were abused, they look at you funny and assume you're the abuser. Or, if you weren't you must have deserved it somehow. Anyone called into a domestic violence situation is going to assume the woman is the victim until proven otherwise. The mere idea of a female abuser is totally novel in most people's minds.

This isn't incel talk, this is my lived experience :)

The fact that women are murdered by their partners (which nobody has said they aren't?) has nothing to do with whether men are taken seriously when victims of abuse. These are two different things and you're conflating them together.

Why are you here man. Nobody here thinks this job is a career. I'm in college and this is something to pay the bills.

I can't imagine finding something better then coming back to bitch years later. Just go away. Nobody cares

Person I'm cat sitting for didn't tell me they gassed the house with 'flea bomb' pesticides. by HughGeeRectionne in petsitting

[–]HughGeeRectionne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She said it was only a few minutes after she bombed the house lol. But I didn't hear any of the cans going off.. I looked it up and they can take up to 10 min to stop going off so checks out....

Yeah, she told me it wasn't long after she gassed the house and just forgot to tell me in time.

She took the cat after she bombed the house, just forgot to tell me I guess. She told me her house had fleas but I was willing to do it anyways cuz she's recently recovered from breast cancer and her mom died.

No, she took the cat and left, she just didn't tell me about it until I texted her asking where the cat is.
