I got asked a couple of IQ questions today. The first I solved with relative ease; the second, I struggled vainly for a bit. I hate IQ questions. They mock me. But then again, I want to say that’s not a fair judgment of my IQ - like with all standardized tests, I think the more time I spend tackling these types of questions, the more adept I’d be at cracking them.
