    When I was in grade school, yes. My mother was not supposed to tell me the results (for whatever reason the authorities thought valid at the time) but she did tell me it was 140.
    When I took the mensa tests (three of them) the numbers varied widely. No longer remember the exact numbers, but one of them was near 140 and another was over 160. Don't know how accurate any of these numbers are (or what they nmeasure) but the wide variation suggests they aren't very precise.

    When did you take those mensa tests?

      Come on genius. Anyone who’s been here a while can figure it out from the post you’re replying to.

    Mensa did not give IQ numbers after 2001 (including me, 2021), only pass fail. Great way to catch liars. Your raw IQ probably declined given your age.
