Am I am idiot
Hello friends, I am in need of advice
I just got a rejection from a second opportunity at a tier 1 shop (BX PE/ KKR / P72) because of a the IQ test
I have a very very strong background and great experiences, but every time I have to do an aptitude or IQ test, I am unable to move forward
Am I just dumb or do I need to study for something like this? Can I get “smarter”?
You very well might be an idiot, but that is okay because I am an idiot as well. Idiots unite.
Yes you am.
I also did not pass the IQ test but ended up receiving an internship offer from a middle market bank
Checks out...jokes aside i'm definitely in the same boat as you. Grit and decent smarts has gotten me this far.
You need a the mental check-up
If it's similar to the online aptitude tests banks use in Europe then you can 100% practise to improve your score. For context they used these sorts of tests for some university admissions tests I did and when I started I was getting average scores but then I spent all summer practising them and I scored in the top 1% for that university admissions test.
Can you PM me
Was this for BX? Got kicked out after that fucking test, most non-sense crap I have seen in my life. Legit had nothing to do with finance, was just 10 stupid questions
BUMP
Banks/PE funds are requiring IQ tests now?! This is a product of our failing, increasingly woke education system. Top schools/top grades no longer signal genuine intellect.
Large part of IQ test are just logic/reasoning so yeah you can easily practice
Has to be a troll. P72 is not tier 1 or prestigious
You are not an idiot. I did not pass several IQ test type questions, but passed a numerical test for a BB bank and got an offer at the BB bank whilst not even getting interviews at some other banks.
But I mean it all worked out for the best, I didn't want to work at Nomura anyway.
Didn't read but, yes. Yes you are.
