You're still missing the point: "IQ test questions are explicitly designed to be things you haven't seen before."

LeetCode is the _opposite_ of an IQ test. LeetCode tests one's ability to memorize, recognize, & regurgitate information in a timed test.

It doesn't matter. It's a heuristic. _vocabulary_ test performance correlates with IQ and vocabulary is _only_ a test of something you know.
