Your comment just shows your lack of understanding. Mensa DO test on the WAIS scale. It accepts people who have been tested in other recognized testing scales. Seriously Organelle, find somthing better to do than insult a group of people who like to feel good about their intellegence. Not many things these days really boost the social esteem of "nerds" so I say let them have a little bit of uncriticized pride you jack ass.

One of the purposes of this post was to point out that Mensa's definition of intelligence is pretty strange. Stanford Binet is more widely considered to be a "standard" intelligence test, but I'd argue that even that test hardly does the job of measuring intelligence. Stanford Binet is perhaps more harmful to society because more people respect it as a legitimate measure of "intelligence." Thanks for writing, Todd.

Things like the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale or the Stanford Binet are. Ofcourse, that wouldn't really sound as awful in your post would it. I don't think theres anyone that disagrees with the point that theres multiple kinds of intelligence and people have strengths and weaknesses. umh, not entirely sure or care about mensa’s policies, but those technically wouldn’t qualify as “standardized IQ tests.” Things like the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale or the Stanford Binet are.
