  • Actually, we have interviews for that. In my experience, interviews with good R&D teams are all about determining two things: general intelligence, and interest in software development. Commented Apr 23, 2012 at 19:29
  • @kevincline - I'd guess you aren't administering any kind of standardized IQ test but just doing a regular interview. Commented Apr 23, 2012 at 20:47
  • No, of course they aren't giving IQ tests. They asking about job-related skills, like the ability to solve programming problems. They ask knowledge questions too, but often don't really care what a candidate knows. They are more interested in whether the candidate has knowledge commensurate with experience. Knowledge / time = learning rate ~ IQ. Commented Apr 24, 2012 at 20:15
