What is IQ
I.Q. (intelligence quotient) in general, is an assessment of your ability to think and reason. IQ score is a standardized way of comparing this ability with the majority of people the same age as you are. A score of 100 means that compared to these people in your general age group that you have basically an average intelligence. Most psychologists would say those scoring in a range of 95 to 105 are of a normal intelligence or have an average IQ. Keep in mind, there are many outside factors that may have a negative impact on your score. For instance, if you are not feeling well at the time of taking the test. Or perhaps you are distracted by something on that particular day.

News
Mensa testing suspended for now
Because of the problems caused by the Covid 19 virus, and the restrictions on gatherings, Mensa New Zealand have decided to suspend testing until restrictions are lifted, and we feel that it is safe to resume them.
If you have booked for a test, you should receive an email from your testing officer advising you that tests are currently suspended.
Once testing has resumed, you will be advised of the new date and offered a place.
Thank you for understanding the situation.
