Is this helpful to put on a resume or not?

Depends on the position you are applying for. They may not want a thinker, just output.

As a hiring manager I would find it very odd.

Many organizations use variations of cognitive ability tests in employment selection.

for example; IBM uses the IPAT.

Proctor and Gamble has the global reasoning test, etc.

They would not use the actual IQ test, but all of these tests assess the same construct, namely an individuals general mental ability/cognitive ability/intelligence.


I have already stated it is not relevant to a resume because a resume highlights relevant job experience and skills. Intelligence is neither of those, and as stated before if they want to measure your intelligence they will, through a standardized process like the IPAT, GRT, etc.
