wat IQ number exactly falls into that top 2% like over 170 or wat?!?!

I'm a Mensa member. When I was tested at age of 23, mine was 152 which put me into top 2%. However, the Mensa IQ test is age dependent; the older you are, the more questions you need to get right. Scroll about half way down this page to 'How do I qualify' for more info.

If u have a high IQ it just means u r good at IQ's nothin more nothin less. By the way mine is 803!!! :o)

It varies according to the relative intellegence of the population. The average is always 100 the entry level for mensa is around 144 at the moment.

There are also different styles of test which generate different qualification bands! I believe that Mensa generally use 2 tests - one is more mathematical based and one is more language based. You can qualify on either test and you are measured against the standard performance of the general population and have to get into the top 2% of those that were used to standardise the tests.

So.... someone may pass with an IQ of say 145 on one test and another person could score 155 on the other - both passing but the two scores are like comparing apples & bananas.
