> 50 Mensa type questions

Mensa is, IMHO, weird! Pay for such a test? Sounds like a scam to me!

One of my aunts presented me a test when I was about ten years old. I dicovered, about 30+ years later, that I already solved most of those Mensa tests when I was about ten. Only those which require specific math were beyond my scope since, well, I was about ten.

I would do exactly as you: Leave the room. Luckily not one of my employers (albeit not that many, and I was never without work) dared to present me one.
