IQ tests tend to cluster around a pretty specific kind of thinking. Pattern matching. Logic. Math. Sometimes vocabulary.
This doesn't correlate with programming ability: it is indistinguishable from programming ability.
- spoonjim 5y agoNonsense. I have a reasonably high IQ but no programming ability because I’ve never learned it. Meanwhile there are many highly employable programmers with very ordinary IQs doing things like making websites or implementing business logic. It’s only a specific type of programming where success directly correlates with IQ.
