It is a funny test. I looked at it for a short while and solved 13 (those I could recognize, that is).
But I have the idea, that I should be familiar with the imperial system and other oddities in which I was not educated to take the test. Not to mention how all the things you do not use much in reading English actually would be called.
The second part is also hard. Damn I wish this test was in Dutch!

Do they have a Dutch Mensa? If so, there should be a Dutch version somewhere online. I didn't even try the 2nd part.

They have a Dutch mensa. But I do not care to be a member 
I also did the online IQ-test. Just for fun. And I scored 136, but as I do not know whether or not this test has been adjusted for the limited number of questions (which is necessary, methodologically speaking).
Still liked the other number a bit better though

I have a couple of friends who are Mensa members.
I really liked the first part of the test too. I printed it out for the kids. I wonder if there is a place on there to go for the answers.

If I were to take an IQ test, I should score around 150 or so. More than enough to qualify, but I simply do not see the point in getting a test done, or being a member of such a society.
