I even went past the essays and they started giving me IQ tests, which tested nothing but reaction time and memory.

I pretty much refuse to work at any company that has anything resembling an IQ test.

I once found myself unexpectedly being asked to take a wonderlic test, I failed the math portion on purpose then when I went into the actual interview I said roughly "haha, that math section was so hard".

My degree is in CS & Math, I just didn't want to burn the recruiter relationship.

Canonical's hiring process is probably the worst on earth,how can they ever hire anyone?
I mean they probably filter for the kind of people that can tolerate and go through this stuff because their positions are also requiring brainless man-machines
