They use (or used) word tests for IQ.

Things like 'bear is to dog as fish is to: a) flower b) whale c) door d) donkey' ... kind of thing.

It's not supposed to test language proficiency, but it can have an effect.

Wonderful example in the same vein from my secondary school English teacher:

Black and (a) white, (b) blue, (c) proud, (d) decker.
