Mensa Test #3
from the January 1974
Reader's Digest



Of course you're smart, but are you brainy enough to qualify for Mensa, the international organization whose only requirement for membership is an I.Q. in the genius range?   in addition to professors and scientists, the Mensa membership includes belly dancers, farmhands, waitresses, postmen, and a number of convicted criminals -- which would seem to demonstrate that superior intelligence does not guarantee success, affluence, or even respectability.   Take this test to find out if you belong among the intellectual elite.

Each problem is a series of some sort -- that is, a succession of either letters, numbers, or drawings -- with the last item in the series missing.   Each series is arranged according to a different rule.   Give yourself a maxiumum of 20 minutes to answer the fifteen questions.
