Mensa brilliant? Dont believe so.
- objectivetruth 8y agoWhy not? My understanding is Mensa is kind of a lightweight scam based on collecting money off of people who are proud of achieving a certain score on an IQ test. This teacher said the school administration told him the kid's IQ was tested near 150 which I think is at or above the Mensa cutoff (don't care enough to look it up). I think that there are a lot of validity and bias issues with the whole concept of IQ testing but I'm curious where your stated lack of belief comes from. Do you not believe the teacher was told that specific tested IQ value, and that he made it up? Do you not believe that school districts test IQ or that their scales don't reach that high? Do you just not believe that somebody of that intelligence could behave in that manner? (It's the third option that I'd find interesting.)
