    Swords' online thing is a laugh, if you think paying £25 to Mensa to sit an exam to get a pointless score is, let us know what you get.

    Which means I am clever enough not to pay £25 to Mensa.

    128, but I misread one of the questions (which is obviously not very clever).
    ...and the flower one was too obvious, so I went for painting which is the only one of the nouns that can be a verb (too clever).

    Following my 139 score, my rather competitive wife tried the test and was quite miffed that she only scored 124, then three of my daughters tried it - 14 year old scored 140 (even though she seemed a bit unclear regarding some of the questions), 20 year old 121 and 22 year old 129
    Just wondering if your sex & age comes into play with the final tally?

    I think there are certain allowances made for under 18s. No gender considerations though.

    Wonder how some on fantasy island (watrb) would get on with this. There are some right Neanderthals on there! <laugh>

    18 was when my brain was just about at its best. Age and substances have ruined it since then. All I have now is experience, guesswork and stubborness. Even the memory's packing up, bit by bit.

    You've just depressed me Stan - when I think of how sharp I was at that age and how much potential compared to my rapid approach towards mediocrity with nothing to show for the journey between the two.

    14 was my peak, I found something further down to play with <yikes> and it was downhill all the way from there...

    I got 138 but would never consider myself to be of very superior intelligence. I didn't even have time to concentrate on the last 2 questions so guessed the answers (maybe right, maybe wrong). Mrs TC was on my back to go out. For me it makes the exercise and reliability just more than a bit questionable.

    Don't under estimate the value of experience Matt, nor the zen like space some of us enter with age of not worrying about what people think and frankly not caring too much about stuff. It's not all bad.

    ...sounds far too good! If were that smart, I would not have been supporting QPR for over 40 years!

    Question 21=> Deduct from your score the number of years that you have been supporting QPR.
