This seems to conflict with how IQ tests are issued. They're always pretty restricted in time, and I suspect they're designed so that someone with 100 IQ is not supposed to get through all of the questions. Not to claim I'm some super intelligent guy but I always felt like IQ tests fail to measure the kind of cognitive tasks that I'm good at, which is to hold a problem in my mind for a long time (in my line of work that's often days or weeks) and then come up with a novel solution.

The timespan in this study seems to be mere seconds.

A typical IQ test (WAIS) takes roughly an hour to administrate.
