Not quite genetically. You can train yourself in solving those puzzles. Although it undermines the whole idea of an IQ club for me.

The measurement can be influenced by practice. The g factor—the thing IQ tests are designed to measure—appears to be immune to practice, though I am not sure how this was determined.

Similar tests, like the SAT and GRE, are designed to work even with practice. They have other problems.
