'Mrs Mensa' tests the nation

The show is hosted by Anne Robinson and Philip Schofield

A Mensa chief from Worcester is to test the nation for a second time.

Sylvia Herbert, the Director of British Mensa, will travel to London on Friday to line up on the panel of the BBC show Test the Nation: The National IQ Test 2003.

Mrs Herbert, from the St Johns area of the city, was dubbed 'Mrs Mensa' by presenter Anne Robinson when she appeared on the interactive IQ challenge last year.

This year, she will join the test's creator Dr Colin Cooper of Queens University, Belfast.

The show will be screened on Sunday at 2000 BST with the results programme at 2150 BST.

Last year, more than nine million viewers tuned in to the first National IQ Test, hosted by Anne Robinson and Philip Schofield.

It is the first show of its kind on British television to attempt to get a measure of the public's intelligence, rather than just memory or general knowledge.
