Are there any places that offer IQ tests in Seoul in English? Maybe some are offered at the universities?

Mensa has an office in Korea - www.mensakorea.or.kr

Testing information:

I'm assuming they offer english tests, but you might want to call/email to check.

Honestly? Just curious. With all the education here I wondered if Koreans are interested in IQ testing.

Koreans seem to be interested in IQ. One time I took the Mensa test out of curiosity and I supposedly have a high enough IQ so I joined just so I could get the card. I mentioned this one time to my co-teachers and it's one of the first things they mention when they introduce me to new people. It's a little embarrassing.

If you want to know the exact score though, DON'T take the Mensa test. I was under the impression that they'd tell me the exact score, but they only tell you whether you're in the top 2 percent or not. They said something about not wanting to undercut psychiatrists who are qualified to give the real tests and charge a lot more for them. So maybe try a psychiatrist?

You don't need English. Take a non-verbal Matrix-Reasoning Test like the Naglieri.

But remember: they tend only to IQ test "special" people. 50% of the people they test are thought to be geniuses. If they give you an IQ test and they don't think you're a genius...well, then, you probably can't read this.
