Tried Mensa Norway test 1st with age range 18-50 , and then age 61+(I'm 63) I used the same answers both times . There was an element of guessing as I'm not good at such tests.

18-50 = outside where an IQ could be given , <85 ?

61+ =

Your IQ was measured to 121, which is equivalent to the 92 percentile, with a standard deviation of 15.

Yes, some guessing involved. I always score low 120s on these types of tests but always feel inadequate.

Never believe that a standardized test can measure your intelligence.

For sure. Like I said I score well but mensa is about patterns. I'm terrible at history and lots of other subjects.
