Man, I must be near retarded then. I don't know what my IQ is. How does one get tested?

A long time ago (maybe 17 years now) I was unemployed for an extended period. I had been on a LOT of interviews but I kept getting passed over for more experienced guys. Eventually, I started to feel a little discouraged and I was afraid I was telegraphing that in the interviews so I decided I would do something as an ego booster.

Mensa gives IQ tests to prospective applicants so I took the test and joined.

I never went to a meeting and I've since let my membership lapse because net net it probably cost me potential jobs by irritating interviewers, but I happen to remember what my score was.

Not that it matters, I really don't believe it means much of anything. The most successful people I know aren't a success because they are smart, they are a success because they refuse to have it any other way and simply will not be discouraged... period.
