IQ-style tests are the norm in parts of Asia. Straight up 200 arithmetic problems in 10 minutes, draw as many perfect squares as possible in 30 seconds, “what’s the best synonym for this word” type of stuff preceding a tech interview. Plus some old sweaty guy in a suit to berate you for not doing something perfectly and question why your 32nd square is slightly tilted to the left while the others are to the right, and how this will reflect upon your moral standing during working hours.

It’s absolutely nuts. I ignore requests from any company that publicly says they require it.
