The problem with Mensa tests, or any other generalized test that tries to identify patterns in humans, is that some people are taking themselves far too serious. IMHO Mensa is meant to give you an indication of not how smart you are but how perceptive you are in a particular kind of problem solving. And that’s about it.
Now if you score above 115 and then you expect the whole world to treat you like something special you miss the whole freaking point. I’ve seen people who because they score something like 130 or 140 are intentionally acting like whims or try to say something very profound and they end up speaking BS. They are very hard to work with and constantly expect to be treated differently.
Bottom line if you happen to be supersmart try to do something useful and meaningful for the rest of the society, otherwise nobody gives a flying fuck how smart you think you are.
