Also, most IQ tests don't define the types of transformations you need to notice, meaning it is 'open' problem for someone taking it for the first time. Experienced players learn how to turn it into a 'closed' problem, where they remember the types of transformations that feature.
As someone that does high level fringe research requiring pHd+ level maths; noticing trends and algebraic factors in dynamic systems is a far way off noticing that the squares in the puzzle have shifted about an axis. The types of pattern recognition required are way different. It's a bit stupid how people think that being good at an IQ test makes you equally good at traditionally 'intelligent' subjects.
That said, if you score lowly on an IQ test, you are highly unlikely to be above average intelligence.
