Your Mensa membership isn’t directly based on your IQ score, but you can still use an approved IQ test to join. If you took the Stanford Binet 5 or the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment, scoring an IQ of 130 is enough to get in.

Not generally. IQ tests are age adjusted, basically to take account of youth and inexperience (under 18) or age and diminishing speed. The reason is that, as we get older, diminishing speed and spatial awareness are balanced by having more knowledge and experience to draw on to solve problems.

You know that "outside the area" can also mean, hypothetically, under 85 if the test happens to only measure between 85-145 in which if you score over 145 it would instead say that you scored 145 or more, which would be unlikely.

You can't just remove half of the equation, crystallized intelligence is a part of IQ and mensa's IQ test is partly crystallized unless you're a non native english speaker and have to take the nonverbal IQ test. Like the list of tests you linked us to contains only FSIQ tests as far as I can tell.

102. The IQ score is the level of intelligence that you have been assigned according to the score that you achieved in the intelligence test. Or the level of the person for which you are consulting that IQ score for that matter. The IQ is always the result of a comparison with the average test result that was achieved by the people who

No no. "I can do any job at IQ 115." as in "At IQ 115, there exists no job I can't do.", but not "Below IQ 115, there exists no job I can do." I personally think that's ridiculous, but I suppose you can make it out to be that way if you fix your terminologies in some way, such as considering "rocket scientist" and "guy who pours fuel into the rocket on the launch pad" as different levels of

With that being said, you may have a Mensa level IQ .. it’s not as unbelievable as you may think. Age doesn’t matter. If you’re intelligent enough to have considered taking a Mensa online test (thinking there’s a possibility you’d score good enough) and you scored high on the online test then I’d recommend doing the real life test

That’s just how IQ tests work. They don’t measure your intelligence. They compare it to the average person. Above 131 IQ you are top 2%. At 140 there are just too few people to compare with. Have you heard of people having 160, 180 or even ridiculous 220 IQ points? Those are pure guesses. You simply cannot compare it.
The sudden need to understand the efficacy of the individual mind took a serious and sinister detour shortly after IQ fever hit. On 11 January 1924, the New York Times published an editorial under the title “Precocity doesn’t wear well”. The subject of the piece was, according to folklore at the time, the most intelligent man in history.
