and to fully prove that being a member of mensa means **** all, it is actually the correct post but with the bit I wanted to highlight missing
Allegedly ( hope that helps ) Mensa put these teasers in the press to hook people. If you do well in this why not come to one of our testing centers, it only costs xxx amount and you could be one of us. Oh so close you're just under the entry level, you should try again in 6 months at our next testing. That's what I heard anyway.
In my working days I often had to peruse cv's from job applicants. Those applicants claiming Mensa membership usually went to the bottom of the pile.
Not really, I just think back at the days I used to look for work out of uni and think it's rather sad if that's how employers act. I knew full well that most CVs went in the bin "that's just how things work" but still, rather unprofessional.
Look at this, one of many out there. Anyway, I said bottom of pile, not in bin. http://www.askamanager.org/2009/04/dont-mention-your-mensa-membership.html
The person who set these questions must be really thick. I mean how can i give answers to questions,when i don't even understand the question ffs? I mean even after seeing the answers, i still don't get it. How daft is that? And another thing. Those clever bastards on Mastermind who know everything. How do they sleep at night with all that information running around in their heads? I'd go mental ! Einstien was a clever **** yes? Alright,why did he look like one of them annoying lunatics that appear from nowhere and come and sit next to you on the bus? Surely a real genius would smarten himself up,so he'd get to shag all the totty? What's clever?
He's so clever, he's managed to extricate himself from a famous quote about insanity and fob it off on Churchill.
Einstein was told, when he was younger, that he would never amount to anything. Later in his life, he said, 'Everybody is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb trees, it will grow up thinking it it is stupid.'
