fret not, dear. such tests hao xiao one lah. think really can test out people so-called IQ meh? too many external factors determining individual results like current state of mind (under stress or relaxed), familiarity towards such problems.....just to name a few from the list. yes, there are people who actually practice similar problems to hone their skills.........at scoring for such tests?!

pointless, if you ask me. that particular test in question tests candidates aptitude in analysing graphical sequences, relationships such as symetry, transformations, arithmetic associations and what not. ultimately, the giest of variations are limited and examiners have little choice but to repeat questions in essence. which is how iq test muggers thrive on such tests while less familiar candidates lose out. btw, high mensa scores do not enhance employment opportunities much, if at all. employers either feel intimidated or think high so-called 'iq' is useless in the field. anyway, outcome is the same.
