Figure Reasoning Test
The Figure Reasoning Test (FRT) is an intelligence test created by John Clifford Daniels in the late 1940s. It consists of two forms, Form A and Form B. Each form contains 45 questions, with the test taker given 20 minutes to complete each form. Forms A and B are designed for individuals aged 15 years and older. The test is used by several Mensa chapters around the world, including those in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Romania, North Macedonia, and South Africa, for their admissions processes. To qualify for Mensa, it is not necessary to complete both forms of the test. Each form independently provides an IQ percentile based on the raw score achieved by the test taker. Mensa Norway provides an online test that resembles the format of the Figure Reasoning Test.

Intelligence Test
An intelligence quotient (IQ) is a total score derived from a set of standardized tests or subtests designed to assess human intelligence. Originally, IQ was a score obtained by dividing a person's mental age score, obtained by administering an intelligence test, by the person's chronological age, both expressed in terms of years and months. The resulting fraction ( quotient) was multiplied by 100 to obtain the IQ score. For modern IQ tests, the raw score is transformed to a normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. This results in approximately two-thirds of the population scoring between IQ 85 and IQ 115 and about 2 percent each above 130 and below 70. Scores from intelligence tests are estimates of intelligence. Unlike, for example, distance and mass, a concrete measure of intelligence cannot be achieved given the abstract nature of the concept of "intelligence". IQ scores have been shown to be associated with such factors as nutrition, parental so ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mensa International
Mensa International is the largest and oldest high-IQ society in the world. It is a non-profit organization open to people who score at the 98th percentile or higher on a standardised, supervised IQ or other approved intelligence test. Mensa formally comprises national groups and the umbrella organisation Mensa International, with a registered office in Caythorpe, Lincolnshire, England, which is separate from the British Mensa office in Wolverhampton. Etymology The word ''mensa'' (, ) is Latin for ' table', as is symbolised in the organisation's logo, and was chosen to demonstrate the round-table nature of the organisation: the coming together of equals. History Australian Roland Berrill and Lancelot Ware, a British scientist and lawyer, founded Mensa at Lincoln College, in Oxford, England in 1946, with the intention of forming a society for the most intelligent, with the only qualification being a high IQ. The society was ostensibly to be non-political in its aims and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Intertel
Intertel is a high-IQ society founded in 1966 that is open to those who have scored at or above the 99th percentile, or the top one percent, on a standardized test of intelligence. It has been identified as one of the notable high-IQ societies established since the late 1960s with admissions requirements that are stricter and more exclusive than Mensa. History Intertel is open to those who have scored at or above the 99th percentile, or the top one percent, on a standardized test of intelligence. It has been identified as one of the notable high-IQ societies established since the late 1960s with admissions requirements that are stricter and more exclusive than Mensa. Intertel was founded in 1966 by Ralph Haines, following the example of Mensa founders Roland Berrill and Lancelot Ware, who wanted to create an association adapted to the gifted needs without any specific restriction of admission (with the exception of a minimum IQ). Intertel thus became the second oldest or ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
