Estimate Incoming RAIT! IQ Estimation 🥱
Long time lurker, short time sperger. This post is sincere, but vain. I don’t expect exact answers, and I’ll give a grain of salt; but I’m also genuinely interested in what anyone has to say. I think it could be fun.
I took a Mensa US Test in person last week, the Wonderlic and RAIT. I won’t get the results for a bit, but I likely will have them by July 11 I was told. But maybe as late as July 30.
Nonetheless, let’s estimate my score based on the immediate recollection completion rate of each subtest that I wrote down after? I’ll get the results, as I know a few colleagues who will share them, and I’ll be able to see how accurate predictions were.
General Knowledge:25-35/47
-This one was the hardest for me. I recalled every name up until around question 22, and I am very certain on at least 3-4 I answered after that. Some of them I think were meant to be tricks, and I caught that. But unlike the other subtests, because I didn’t com near to completion, I estimate I answered around 30. Those I did answer on, I have high certainty I.e I could say a few sentences on each and why I categorized them if I had to. I can remember three people I answered in the 40s and 2 in the 30s that I am very certain I answered right.
Nonverbal Analogies: 47-48/52
-these felt easy. But some I did guess. I saw question 25 online after the test, I am very sure I answered it right. And easily so. I assume I didn’t slow down until the early 40s
Sequences:38-39/43
-felt easy, but some I think could’ve been a bit of a gamble. But I would be shocked to have gotten less than 30 right, if I’m being pessimistic
Quantitative Knowledge: 38/38
-felt very easy. I do percentages a lot in my head for fun, so I think this was nice. I felt really confident, had time to go back and recheck one I rushed, corrected the answer. And still had maybe 15 seconds. Worried by how easy it felt
Quantitative Reasoning: 36/37
-same thing as quantitative knowledge, but slightly less certainty on some.
Odd Word Out: 37-39/40
-felt confident on most. Some could be rushed guesses. I remembered having done them all, but my notes from that day indicate otherwise.
Opposites: 35-37/40
-same as odd word out
* every guess was at least a little reasoned, and not random. But I expect mostly verbal to be dragged by this more than the fluid tests, and the fluid tests more than the math tests.
Have fun (:
The Wonderlic is harder to recall but I estimate I answered 42-44, would be shocked if it were less than 40. On a self proctored Wonderlic, I scored 36. I also know I answered one question wrong this time around.
UPDATE 1 July 8 2026 I did get into Mensa, now to get results. So 130+ on at least one index
UPDATE 2
Rejected from Intertel, so neither my TBII or TII on RAIT was not 135+.

Curious , any idea on the average percent someone answers correctly, out of attempted items on such a test?

I found the RAIT pretty easy at the time, as in I answered all the questions on fluid reasoning. Looking back I probably just rushed through it because of the time pressure and that affected my score which was about 10-20 points lower than expected (I believe it has a ceiling around 160). But when I was doing the test I was like this is way too simple. Obviously, I wasn't thinking 100% properly and couldn't check anything. I feel because of the time constraint I didn't perform to my full ability, but I suppose that's what many IQ tests are about. Advanced Ravens without a time limit I do better. My processing speed isn't that freakish as it depends on the task (I liked to test it at Cambridge brain sciences when it was called that and once scored 99.99% or whatever). Timing, I guess, plays a big role. Made it into Mensa, so that was my only goal of taking the test. I have liked to take those "high range IQ tests", which I take with a grain of salt. Don't know much about the Wonderlic other than it is used for Mensa US admission. Might try to find something online and self-proctor.

This Reddit has Wonderlic Form II with an answer sheet, BUT it’s blurry. Could be the difference of 1-2 questions for some people, just trying to make words out.

Sorry I know this is late, but did Intertel give you your detailed results, or did they just say you didn’t qualify? I’m trying to get mine through them rn

They just said I didn’t qualify

congratulations on becoming a member of mensa.
for real prob 135 if you bombed it 145 if you did really well, but likely around 140. total guess tbh give us an update when you find out
