My thinking is that if you want to score high on IQ test, then you need to take many IQ test so that when you see a problem all you have to do is realize that it is just like a previous problem that you have seen. Once a person learns how to work a problem similar problems are a piece of cake. Before I memorized how to work a rubik's cube I didn't have a chance of ever working one. Now that I know the steps I can solve 3x3x3 cubes in about 5 minutes.

Memorization trumps IQ in almost every circumstance. IQ is top dog when a problem is encountered for the first time. Just my thoughts.
