Most high IQ societies limit their membership to those who have scored above the 98th percentile
on applicable IQ tests. Applicants who have already done so can apply for high IQ society
membership by furnishing proof of their high scores. People who have lost their scores or simply
want to take a new test can take any of the more widely recognized IQ tests, such as Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test,
the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale
(WAIS), or the Cattell Culture Fair
Intelligence Test. The score that they receive on the intelligence test will determine
if they qualify for membership. However, applicants are encouraged to take practice tests first
to help them prepare for the challenge of entering a high IQ society.
Practicing for IQ tests
One of the best resources for preparing yourself to take an IQ test are practice tests. They offer the same types of questions,
and present concepts in a manner similar to what you would encounter on a real IQ test. Going
over practice tests multiple times in order to break the questions down to their fundamental
parts is key when it comes to doing well on an IQ test.
Taking an IQ Test
IQ tests work by assessing a person’s ability to overcome a specific set of obstacles, either in
the form of written questions or as visual puzzles. Depending on the test being taken, the
questions can range from assessing quantitative reasoning ability, verbal reasoning ability,
visuospatial abilities, etc. By allowing for a variety of unique intelligence variables to be
measured about someone, IQ tests assist in quantifying a person’s strengths and weaknesses.
