WTF does that have to do with intelligence? That’s just memorization.
As someone with zero short term (working) memory, I’d fail that part, yet people are always astounded at what I remember (and I work with crazy complex systems).
What a crock.
(I typically test just over 100 on IQ tests - not a brag, just more to show how useless they are).

“IQ” is best summarized in the fewest possible words as basically “a measure of how quickly people learn”. Thus it is an important aspect - one of many aspects - of IQ (which, by the way, has very limited scope in what it is attempting to measure).
People think IQ = smart, or IQ = intelligence[1], but really it’s really not. I went on a rant about this in a separate comment, using my own life as an example (I have a high IQ, which has helped me in ways, but is largely useless for my success and happiness in life)/
Recount numbers forward and backwards?
