Greg,
You shouldn't be talking about things you obviously have no knowledge
of. ;)
A Mensa test exists of three different tests:
- the symbol/pattern 'get the picture' kind of questions
- numerical patterns
- words/language
Especially the latter has nothing to do with patterns and symbols.
You only need to 'pass' one test to become a member.
I agree though that IQ is often confused with wisdom... I've met a lot
of people with an average IQ who were much wiser than some of the
brainies I met.
