JMHO . . . anyone who joins their "society" should deduct at least 50 points from their score.

I didn't check out their pay-per-use tests, but that 10 question free test is a joke. I mean it's questionable that a test of any length can accurately measure someone's intelligence but there is no way a 10 question internet test is going to do it. All that test really was one's ability to discern patterns to predict what the next image should be. Now it's been a while so maybe things changed but the last time I took a real IQ test there were hundreds of questions and several very distinct categories.

An interesting side note or factoid of IQ tests is that while getting a question right is of course the goal. Equally if not more important in measuring your IQ is how long it takes you to get it right. With fastest time being preferable of course. Another thing many might be unaware of is that there are a variety of tests used professionally and the scoring varies one from another. Below is a graphic showing the two most widely used ones and what their respective ranges are.

Take the Mensa test. Most larger cities test a couple times a year. I took it with a group of coworkers we all had a bet to see who got highest. They don't actually tell you your IQ though, at least out here. Just if you made it in or not. We think the minimum to get into Mensa is 132. Two SD from 100. Its a fun day and cost something like $60. Several tests. Some similar to all the online tests around, but others very different.

The Mensa requirements depend on which test was used to determine an applicant's IQ.

Mensa's requirement for membership is a score at or above the 98th percentile on certain standardised IQ or other approved intelligence tests, such as the Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scales. The minimum accepted score on the Stanford–Binet is 132, while for the Cattell it is 148.[11] Most IQ tests are designed to yield a mean score of 100 with a standard deviation of 15; the 98th-percentile score under these conditions is 130.

Most national groups test using well established IQ test batteries, but American Mensa has developed its own application exam. This exam is proctored by American Mensa and does not provide a score comparable to scores on other tests; it serves only to qualify a person for membership. In some national groups, a person may take a Mensa-offered test only once, although one may later submit an application with results from a different qualifying test.

Also keep in mind just because a person has a high IQ does not mean they'll always do, say or think smart things. One can be the smartest person in the world but if they don't put it to use, it's meaningless. I've met more then a few brilliant stupid people.
