>>37, what if it's a test of perceiving a pattern in a series of symbols or diagrams?

What if it's a test of arranging multicolored blocks to create a pattern, against time?

What if it's a test of perceiving a pattern in a series of numbers? That is what made up most of the IQ tests I took, though it has been many years since I was last tested.

What if it's a test of reflex speed? In the mid 1980s a large American university did experiments and demonstrated that a simple measurement of reflex speed correlates very well with the results of IQ tests, so well that the result of one measurement can predict the result of the other almost perfectly in most instances.
