I have 27/33 completed, but I got a little bit of help from some friends.

that's kind of ridiculous. there are so many ways of measuring intelligence you'd think a real mensa test would measure different types of intelligence. the brain basically needs only to perform one operation very well in order to succeed in this test.

People confuse "intelligence" and "knowledge" all the time. Just because you know these doesn't mean your brain performs on a higher level. That's sort of silly.

A real Mensa test is nothing more than an IQ test.

Mensa is an organization for people with high IQs. Its sole requirement for entry is that potential members must score within the top 2% in any approved standardized intelligence test. (Wikipedia)

I agree that you need to actually know the words but being able to go from the abreviations to the full word takes some degree of intelligence.

No, seriously, this is in no way an intelligence test. Beyond the fairly easy number items one would have to have knowledge of rugby, soccer, genetics, religion, geography and classic sayings to complete the entire thing. That's not intelligence, that's specialized knowledge. This is a combination of a puzzle game and a trivia game.

Yeah. I got like...3 right. I'm working on getting drunk right now. So we'll see what happens in the future. This test sucks.

I've got 30 out of 33 at the moment. Having a bit of trouble with the last few.

There is another one up.
