I just took the official, proctored Mensa exam. I do not know my result yet. Here's how it worked:
The first portion (which took up most of the exam time) is one large test broken up into, I believe, 8 smaller portions. You have time limits which vary for each section. Each section is different from the others. I found that the time limits given rarely allotted for enough time to complete all of the questions. I also felt that that was intentional, and it did not cause me too much concern. This is a good time for me to mention that the test is SOLEY scored on how many questions you get right. There are NO deductions for wrong answers.
The second portion of the Mensa exam is an exam that really just has many different types of questions all mixed together. One question might be mathematical in nature, and the next one might be a language-arts based question. The time limit allowed for this second portion is only 12 minutes. Again, I completed probably less than half of it, and I was not concerned.
Good luck!

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
In short, yes Mensa is a worldwide organization.
