Mine was done by MENSA about 45 years ago. And I won't "scan" it because my name is on it...and without my name it is meaningless.

I am proud of my 158 IQ. But it only means I have an ability to manipulate data (at least, I used to). It does not mean I am knowledgeable about anything in particular. Knowledge requires work and effort, and knowledge is far more important than a high IQ or a fine face--or those beautiful legs I have seen on some women.

Well..maybe not more important than the latter...

Attempting to reducing something as ineffable as intelligence to a single natural number is the opposite of intelligent. It's about as bright as reducing beauty to a number between 0 and 10.

(I have no idea what my IQ is. If they measured it in school they never shared it with me).
