I think stuff like MENSA is just elitist bullshit to make the "in" people feel better about themselves at the expense of others.
Psychology is a fairly young discipline and not that much is known about the brain. To somehow claim that they've discovered a "reliable" way of measuring intellect is pretty stupid, imo.
I agree with you and with MadreDeFielyWillow.
Anyway, I took the regular test and the advanced test, I got 114 on both. But it is important to add that I had a hard time with the definitions of some of the words there, since English is my second language, so I ended up guessing a few answers.
Could I get a Hebrew translated test? 
I've taken a few other IQ tests in the past and scored anywhere between 132 to 140. I wouldn't trust online tests tbh.
