I've had one potential employer give me an IQ test (literally this is how they screened people before formally interviewing them - I went in, took an IQ test proctored by an HR person, and then went home and awaited the results). I was then called back in and subjected to multiple rounds of tech interviews involving whiteboard programming and a take-home assignment (with follow-up code review). The engineers I talked to all seemed very pleased with my performance and made it sound like I all but had the job.
However, ultimately, I failed the final test, which was a non-technical sit-down with a company executive. Not a cultural fit.
I like remote work. Nobody cares if you're a "cultural" fit.
