How do you measure intelligence?

Intelligence is measured by taking a professional IQ test such as the Standford-Binet. MENSA has a Home IQ Test that can be taken in your home as the name implies. However, there is a testing fee of about $15.00. I've taken it and it is very accurate; however, the Home IQ test is not considered a professional IQ test. It provides a possible "snapshot" of ones IQ. If you score close to around 125, MENSA will inform you that you may be smart enough to gain acceptance into MENSA. However, to gain acceptance you can either take the MENSA IQ Test that is administered several times per year. For information on when the test will be offered and test locations through your country, visit your local MENSA website. MENSA accepts more than 200 IQ Tests and other tests where the scores can be converted into the equivalent of IQ scores. For more information visit: http://www.kids-iq-tests.com/mensa-tests.html

Is Mensa or the Triple Nine Society more ideal for a person with an IQ of 178?

Both Mensa and the Triple Nine Society are social organizations for people with high IQs. Mensa admits people whose IQ is at or above the 98th percentile. The Triple Nine Society admits those whose IQ is at or above the 99.9th percentile. Therefore, the Triple Nine Society would be the more prestigious of the two, while Mensa is the larger of the two. The IQ of 178 would be in about the middle of Mensa's range, while it would be at the lower end of the Triple Nine Society's.
