Not Bad

This is an interesting collection of IQ tests. Mensa tends to put out a lot of repetitive material, but this set of tests is different. My only complaint is that the tests within the set are very similar. As to the complaint that the scores are inflated, in my version of this book, the percentiles are mentioned next to each score, with the 98th percentile highlighted, meaning it would be a qualifying score for Mensa. Therefore, there should be no confusion about your performance. Even the complaint that a standard deviation of 24 is not valid isn't a good one. Some tests have such a standard deviation, including the Catell scales, a commonly used IQ test.

worth your while

as per previous reviews, the only fault I have with the book is that it does tend to get repetitive and, as far as challenging goes - well, some of the problems are a measure of sheer tediousness rather than smarts. But perhaps that's good in developing EQ so a benefit to be gained anyway. If you like 'puzzles' then this is not a book for you. It is a series of IQ tests.

two words-Buy it

The problem with most IQ like books is that they either are too easy{to sort of boost your ego] or teach irrelevent suff.This book is one of the best of these kinds of books.made by Mensa, and is keeping to every thing you need to boost your IQ
