Those of you who are pontificating about IQ tests and how they don't mean anything might just want to go to a Mensa gathering some time.

As was stated above, Mensa is a group for people who score at the 98th percentile on an intelligence test (IQ132 on WAIS or WISC).

If IQ meant nothing, then Mensans would be no more intelligent than anyone else. Well, the truth is that they *are* a lot more intelligent than most people. You can hear it in the programs, see it in the games room and experience it in casual conversation over a cup of coffee.

Yes, people, IQ (as measured by the mainstream intelligence tests) does mean something.
