Rare in the US from my experience. The only real exception I know is companies owned by the PE firm Vista Equity Partners, who all use such a test. The once ubiquitous Microsoft/Google logic puzzles seem to be mostly gone here as well.

Thank you for the answer. From the 2012 HN post I did see some comments that did corroborate the point that it used to be more common, but was essentially replaced with coding test. (which makes me kinda feel less bad about coding tests now)

Yeah, I was going to mention Vista as well. A startup I worked for was acquired by a Vista portfolio company and they made us all take the CCAT: https://www.criteriacorp.com/assessments/cognitive-aptitude/...
