Why does it?
They are regarded as almost meaningless these days, aren't they?


(150-odd if you are interested)

Depends on the type of test.
Terman revised Binet-Simon in the 20's and that is still used quite a lot, but Spearman's preferred method (Raven's Progressive Matrices) is the default standard now I think, as this relies more on visual reasoning.

My interest ended when I took the home test, many years ago, found out I qualified for Mensa membership and promptly decided not to, a decision I have never regretted.

Common sense and breasts.
