Don't best-practice IQ tests also measure the verbal component, e.g. vocabulary and reading comprehension? I also recall some tests requiring rotation of 3d figures, not just 2d fill the 9th slot type problems.
I see a lot of poor quality "IQ" tests on the internet that are 100% pattern recognition and it's always the same schtick - rotate, exclude, "combine" the figures. Actually got one of these tests as a prerequisite for an interview.
While I'm not one of those "iq doesn't matter" types who reject the ability to measure intelligence, I will absolutely cast doubt on these narrow pattern recognition tests.
