Raven Advanced and IQ scores
ZUKOSKIA
score and IQ was... I scored a 32 on the test and the report stated the score
was "beyond the 95%ile" for my age group, and "this score would translate into
an IQ of greater than 126." The psych didnt have norms above that. I
submitted my report to British Mensa, they rejected it because the test "hadnt
measured accurately above 95%." I then explained the situation, and the
consultant psychologist accepted it. Does anyone know the raw score cutoff for
British or International Mensa?

Although an excellent quality IQ test the manual for Raven's APM is
poor, giving tables which translate raw scores into IQs and
percentiles only in discrete and wide blocks of score ranges.

It's the poor manual. The test itself is well normed.

As is the case with most serious IQ tests the norming is slightly
dependant on age. As you do not state what age you were on taking the
test I will assume an age of 20 for my calculations. The results would
be only very slightly different for a different age.
As Ravens APM is officially not normed above the 99.9 percentile point
(30 raw score) due to the limited number taking the test at that level
your IQ should be 174 (with SD=24). That is at the 99.9 percentile
level and eligible for mensa with plenty of room to spare.
Based on the table of percentiles to raw scores the raw score cut-off
for mensa membership would be either 25 or 26 (assuming age 20 and
depending on how they interpolate and round the numbers).

Can you tell me what the raw score cutoff is? Is it a 28/36 or between
27-30/36 for Mensa?

different manual or from Mensa itself? I know ISPE and Triple Nine Society
accept a 31 and 32 for the 99.9th, but they cant tell me where they obtained
the norms above 95%. I was 27 at the age of testing. Please let me know where
the norms you have came from....thanks!
