Verified with official Mensa reports from Norwegian and Swedish members that each form can be administered independently and provides an IQ percentile based on the raw score.

The Figure Reasoning Test (FRT) is an intelligence test created by John Clifford Daniels in the late 1940s.[1] It consists of two forms, Form A and Form B. Each form contains 45 questions, with the test taker given 20 minutes to complete each form.[2][3]

It is used by a few Mensa chapters in Europe, as well as Mensa South Africa for their admissions tests. For example, Mensa Norway provides an online test which resembles the format of the Figure Reasoning Test.[4] For admission into Mensa, it is not necessary to complete both forms of the test. Each form independently provides an IQ percentile based on the raw score achieved by the test taker.
