The test really is meaningless.

I have heard that there are sperm banks will accept SAT scores in lieu of an IQ test, even though high SAT scores have been shown to have less statistical covariance than, say, gender for determining college grades. But that doesn't stop the madness. MENSA and the other pretentious IQ societies consider these two kinds of tests equally valid. It's possible to study for either kind of test to ensure a perfect score (I've tutored for companies that do this). Which is one of many reasons why a bell curve meritocracy is kind of a joke.
