What's up with the retarded identifying patterns test used to test logical aptitude??

I just took a online test for a BB. The numerical one was fine, the usual. Then I had to take this logical aptitude test which was basically identifying patterns in drawn lines, and geometry figures. I don't think i did well on it. But I don't see how that crap has anything to do with logic. I would expect some kind of critical reasoning based test for logic.

identifying patterns is a large part of IQ tests. It's okay if you're not a genius but if some guy from with a 4.0 in business from a random christian college in the midwest shows up we'd like to make sure his IQ is above a 100.
 

suck it up, stop moaning and tuck in.

that's WAY easier than numerical IMO. You can be really sure about each answer.

but yeah, I don't see the point of online tests either.
