Mensa is a private society where you pay for membership and take a test which cherry picks from actual standardized intelligence tests and are openly available so you can practice them. Proper ones used in neuropsychology measure more than just pattern recognition. I don’t know why Mensa has gotten such a prominent place, but it shouldn’t be regarded as the benchmark for anything.
Mensa has long been the benchmark for high IQ societies.
Go take their sample IQ test. It is only pattern recognition.
Unfortunately this is the norm.

Paying for a “you’re smart” placque is definitely a benchmark for stupidity.
Mensa is a social club with an admittance test, which they’re free to organize however they want. It holds no weight in the field of psychology
i literally did the test with a registered psychologist, not sure what more you want?
it very much seems like you just want to hate intelligence tests and reality being different makes you frustrated
There are different types of intelligence tests, sure. What I was talking about was IQ tests.
But yes, I do hate intelligence tests, they have a long history of reinforcing systemic racism.
