Sure it does. IQ is simply a measure of performance on an IQ test. A simple Python loop around Google search in 2012 had an IQ.

IQ is a (biased) proxy measure for human intelligence. It is not a meaningful measure when applied to a computer system.

What IQ "means" is separable from what it is. IQ is a measure of performance on IQ tests. That's literally what it is. If a computer system can complete IQ tests, it has an IQ.

The issue is that IQ means less than you want it to.

I don't want IQ to mean anything. pkoird clearly wants it to mean something.

IQ is a terribly flawed measure of human intelligence. But it measures nothing when you apply an LLM that contains multiple IQ tests in its corpus. IQ is deeply flawed, but the point is not to "measure performance on IQ tests". If someone cheats on an IQ test and scores 200, no reasonable person would say they have 200 IQ.
