Because of differences in test score interpretation they no longer accept just an "IQ Score" from a test. Candidates for membership in Mensa must achieve a score at or above the 98th percentile on a standard test of intelligence. This means that you must score as well, or better than 98% of the people taking the test.
The reason that they no longer accept a simple "IQ Score" is that the standard deviation of one test is not equal to other tests. This being said it means that there is really no way to compare scores of one test with another. People may score 140 on on test, but score 130 on another totally different test. There would be no way to compare these two scores to interpret which score was higher. Some tests maximum score is less than another test's maximum score making it appear that a person scored lower than other people who took the other test. If you scored 140 and I scored 170, but we took totally different tests you may have actually scored higher than me. If your test maxed out at 145 score and mine maxed our at 300 my score would then appear to be significantly lower...
Hope this helps...

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
