Did you seriously just say "I scored a 142 out of 200 on an IQ test...therefore I'm in the top 29%?" About anything else, I'd yawn and move on, but demonstrating a basic lack of understandings about distributions while talking about your abnormally-high IQ needs commentary.
The test average is 100, and the standard deviation is 15, and it's normally distributed, so a 142 would put you in the top 0.26%...as in, smarter than 99.74% of the population.

Of course I would never join an elitist organisation like MENSA, I find the very idea of it appalling. Apparently from what I just read on Wikipedia if you have to be in the top 2% to join... so I guess I wont ever have to worry about joining it!

These MENSA characters might think they are smart, but I bet if me and an average MENSA member were to both drink 10 pints of beer and have a fist fight outside a kebab shop I'd beat his arse and then have not-really-attractive-but-drunk girls holding me back going "leave it, he isnt worth it" and so on while he was laid out taking a nap on the pavement...

Thank you for repeatedly confirming for me that you are literally the only person on TFP I have zero desire to meet in person, and in fact would actively avoid. Aggression issues, you has them.
