Seeing as part of the UMAT tests your intellectual abilities,

I'm curious as to what you guys score in http://www.mensa.org/workout and your correlated score in the UMAT.

I myself scored 26. My father scored 28 but he's an actual Mensan.

Oh my gosh, I scored better in the word questions than the number ones.

I got 25.

Damn 7s question, typists...

And the stupid flower 'predict what comes next' question.
I can never get them.

The other one I got wrong was 'rearrange the letters'. Just had no clue. As if I could see banalities in that.

Oh, and I did NOT get 100 on the UMAT.

I got parachute. Insatiable no chance though. Yeh my dad got 28 and the counting the squares one he cbfed but he said he could do it he had 6 mins to go... He too didnt get insatiable. He ranks in the 99.3 percentile of all real mensa test takers. Im pretty envious of him. He would kill the UMAT.

Not neccesarily,

There was an article a few years back about a kid who had a genius IQ and finished school (i think in WA?) at 15, and his UMAT score was rubbish so he had to take a year of engineering and transfer in after a year to some med course. Umat does not equal IQ test.

Good work! How'd you go on the UMAT?


I'm not trying to sound offensive, though in my mind, a test such as the UMAT surely has been well thought through. I think it's far more plausible that people on the forum study real hard but aren't necessarily the most intelligent and the results reflect this. Having said that I find it weird that people go from scores in the 70th percentile to the 90th percentile. That I find dubious.

I was a lazy jerk and didn't bother doing any of the ones that required tedious effort. Some of those questions are similar to the UMAT; most aren't though, so there's not really going to be a causative correlation between scores.


Best question on that quiz was the pythagorean triad one <3
