I found a Mensa challenge test, which can be taken for free on the mensa website and involves answering 35 problems within 25 mins. They do mention that it is only for entertainment purposes, but people on quora seem to suggest that it gives an accurate ballpark score.

Is it really accurate?

How is it different from an IQ test administered by a trained psychologist?

I recently attempted the Mensa challenge test , which can be taken for free on the mensa website and involves answering 35 problems within 25 mins. (https://www.mensa.org/public/mensa-iq-challenge) They do mention that it is only for entertainment purposes, but people on quora seem to suggest that it gives an accurate ballpark score.

Is it really accurate? What about a person who scored 90 on the test but is pretty above average in real life?

(https://www.mensa.org/public/mensa-iq-challenge) They do mention that it is only for entertainment purposes, but people on quora seem to suggest that it gives an accurate ballpark score. The first time I attempted a test, my score came out as 92. I heard a lot of 90 IQ people say that they were slower in school, got through it but with C grades etc after working hard etc etc. But I didn't have any such troubles, was considered well above average in school and don't have any trouble understanding any concepts till date(I am currently 19 years old and in first year of college). I scored 88 percentage in my final exam at school and got 95/100 in physics. Besides, I am generally intellectually inclined and read a lot. I know that amassing knowledge is quite different from being intelligent but still. Is it possible that the test result is skewed in some way-am I really only average(I hope to become a physicist and hence this test result was a little bit of a bummer. I know I am no genius but this was way below my expectations)? Or am I just being delusional and overestimated myself?

And, I don't think that iq tests are obsolete , so please don't tell me it doesn't matter. Yes, intelligence might be a little more complicated, but it is still only a developing theory so let us not set too much score by that just yet.

thank you.
