The problem solving works in the same way
as example from Bergman
Data's IQ
test.
However, in the real mensa iq test you will have the 36
problems in a pad of paper and an answer sheet with 3 columns of 12 lines like the table to
the left in the test.
The iq test is watched by a test leader. He will instruct you not to spend too long
time at one problem.
No PC:s are included but only paper and pencil. All must be solved in the head and you have 1 hour to
go.
You are not allowed to use your
pen to solve the problems but only to write down the answers. However, you can
put a character (for example a question sign) after the answer if you are
uncertain and wants to go back and check it. This is a good help and that's why
we don't use answers to click on.
If you have solved all the problems right you have an IQ of 135 or more,
reached by 1/100 of the population. However you only need 131 (or 1/50) to be a member of Mensa.
Your age is also taken into consideration. The older the more stupid. Myself,
I am retired and 61 and had not used my brain for three years when I took mensas
iq test. However I solved all the problems within half an hour. The other half on
hour I spent to learn the nature of the problems that resulted in this test.
