I took the ASVAB and being the son of a Cheif Warrant Officer, I was REALLY wanted in military service. The ASVAB tested heavily for mechanical apptitude. Lots of physical "what happens next" questions. I tested top of my class but was not interested in military life since I had grown up on military bases for a majority of my life.
I guess moving every 6 months to a year for your entire life made military not the most desireable life choice for a 17 year old.
ASVAB concentrated on math, factoring, and mechanical ability...pretty cool test. I remember a question that had 5 gears with different teeth counts, and the question was if the main gear did "x" revolutions, how many revolutions did gears 3 and 5 make.
That being said, I am a test geek and have to take tests ALL the time in my profession.

Re: Mensa membership letter
My parents tested my in highschool to figure out what was "wrong" with me. Come to find out, I was above Mensa levels, but just bone lazy. Also, I am a really good test taker, and that accounts for a good bit of any score.
That being said, joining a club which consists of a bunch of people talking about IQ test scores sounds horrid.
