    Has any job interview you’ve ever gone to ever asked for an IQ? I’ve never heard of it, and it sounds like a crazy stupid idea for anyone to go for. You like linux, you’ve programmed websites. The bullshit test that your employers are going to care about are certifications. Look around at job opportunities in your area (or if you are lucky remote), see what certs are most commonly demanded, and focus on getting them. In addition whatever you go for, try and get some hands on experiences in them, projects etc… whether it’s personal.

    Or say if web development is the direction you want to go… then try and find a friend or family member that needs a web site or project made… make them a “client” so that you can claim it as “work experience”.

    Honestly in my experience in IT… generally speaking when it comes to getting a job, in order of value “work experience” > Certifications > Primary education (IE Degree/diploma).

    IQ test, I’ve never once in my life come across that question coming up… just don’t advertise it and most likely no one will ever care.
