Immigrants arriving at Ellis Island underwent various mental tests, which primarily included evaluations of their ability to communicate and understand basic questions posed by inspectors. These tests aimed to identify individuals with mental disabilities or conditions that could prevent them from supporting themselves. The process sometimes involved observing behavior and interaction with officials, rather than formal psychological assessments. Ultimately, those deemed "unfit" could be denied entry into the United States.

Is it possible to score a 165 on the Scientology Novis Mental Ability test?

Only if you get the top score and add 10 to it. No valid IQ test can be given in 30 minutes, so I would be very suspect. The highest score on the so called "Novis Mental Ability Test," is 155. Many who have scored "off the scale" of a regular IQ test would test "low" on the Scientology created "Novis Mental Ability Test". It is not even accepted for membership in any of the High IQ Societies (such as MENSA or The HI Q Society).
