Do you really reckon you could join Mensa? Definitely. It's not a big deal. Actually my mind possibly isn't logical enough, more creative.

It was bugging me for ages this morning, then it clicked - I remembered it from an English lesson, when our teacher was telling us about different dramatic styles/scenes (specifically so that we could drop the correct words into our exams ) Rock on Neko, you star pupil you!

The trouble with getting in is that you have to pass an IQ test - and the only thing that proves is that you're good at taking IQ tests! (Which, incidentally, are biased - probably unintentionally - towards the way a typical white male's brain works)

what does it mean Literally "before a closed door" and it refers to a poetic style in which the poet imagines himself before his beloved's door, imploring her to open up. It's the kinda sweet stuff that I'm all about. Go on, mock more, I'm expecting it now!

It was actually kinda funny; she listed various terms, which were met with furiously scribbled notes, questions, quick conversation etc... then she said that one. I've never known another case where 30 people's faces could simultaneously change from any given expression on their face at that time to one that just said, "...uh?"

I think it's 142+ or somewhere around that area, though I wouldn't quote me on it. It's not only about being logical; it's also about your brain's ability to process information, recognise patterns, come to conclusions etc. Which is why these online IQ tests are so stupid; they use general knowledge, which isn't relevant at all.

Aye I agree with you on that one. I'm not far off though, but not quite Mensa standard.
