There are different IQ tests that have different grades. I had to take one when I was 23 and I started my job... they explained pretty clearly that the score you got wasnt "stand alone" but related to the average and graded you compared to other people.
0 is brain dead, 100 is average, 200 is top.
142/200 makes me the 29th cleverest man out of 100
Its pretty obvious, even to a man who aint clever enough for MENSA that to be in the top 1% you'd have to get 198!

As for my aggression issues... its just a joke about dealing with feelings of inadequacy. Its a response to claims of superiority. I say the same sort of thing if a girl describes another man as good looking, that I would when people go on about join a club I'm not clever enough to get into... I would have though the scenario was silly enough that it wouldnt sound like a genuine intention.
I dont want to be cleverer than 98% of people. I am happy to be cleverer than average but nothing special. If there are some people who get kicks out of wearing a badge that says "I'm better than most people" (and genuinely, what else can MENSA mean?).... its there choice, thats a statement of their personality... Im not saying its wrong, Im just saying its not me.
In any case I consider myself "special" in other wats. It is my genuine belief that I have more Y chromosones than a normal male. Probably 4 Y chromosones. This is scientifically possible. It is likely that I do not have an X chromosone at all (which is partly feminine)... I havent researched that part scientifically, but if I was analysed by science I suspect there is a good chance I have no X, my chromosones are YYYY. It is interesting to speculate whether I was born XYYY and the abnormal levels of testostorone in my body transferred the X into another Y.
Anyway, I dont want to derail your thread about how clever all you MENSA chaps are, so thats really a whole other discussion.
I will settle with:
I have taken an IQ test, and as I understand it I am not clever enough for MENSA
I dont want to be in MENSA anyway
I wouldnt bother studying for it, or putting any effort into it... if you want to improve yourself (which is a noble desire) learn a trade or a skill that will get you somewhere in life or bring you pleasure - learn a musical instrument, learn to carve wire, learn to rewire a house...
