Or aptitude test, often conducted by large companies to test if you are smart enough to be their employee.
I am trying to get prepared/training for such a test, better with tutor.
Does anyone have any idea to find such materials?
yes shl does have an official sample, but it is easier and without answers.

Try the GAT, it's very similar to an IQ test (ok maybe not an IQ test, but definitely an aptitude test)

I agree with Identity, in that the only way you can prepare is to try questions like the ones that will come up.
I took an IQ test for MENSA once, and the question that sticks most in my mind was something like this:
K E L W B
S V P A R
N X T O D
J Y F H C
U Q G I Z
(i) What is the letter to the left of R?
(ii) What is the letter two below W?
(iii) What is the letter between Y and H?
(iv) Continue the sequence: S, T, ?
(v) What is the letter below the letter to the left of the letter two below P?
(vi) What is the letter between the letter to the left of the letter above A and the letter twice right of the letter above F?
It went on like that for about 6 more questions too, getting more complex each time. The last question was a substantial paragraph by itself.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Thank you Identity.
I am just preparing for numerical, verbal and graphic induction tests, since these are the common types used by company. I am trying to buy a book online, but found most relavant books are in UK. US has the books like "test your bible IQ" "test your sport IQ" etc.

But it seems illigal for a US company to test iq of its applicant. Then it makes sense why US lacks such books...

Testing IQ is not illegal.
What will put the company/employer in a cauldron of trouble is asking questions that are not directly related to the job for which the applicant is applying.
Even if the tester believes the question has merit, it can cause problems.
If you are looking to hire a person to bail water, and then ask questions about quantum physics, you might be forced to hire the person who has no arms.
It should be obvious, WE NEED MORE LAWYERS!

Here i uploaded 2 excel files which has a MENSA IQ test. Its not a proper IQ test but its good for practice.
Test(1) is the test and Mensa is the answers.

Thank you careless. That's kinda hard.
I encountered UBS test, with lots of tough graphic puzzles (similar to the puzzles at the end of a common iq test). It seems I passed although I answered less than half. Or maybe I didn't. They sent a rejection letter after one month. Is it because they find some better candidate through resume or they filtered me out by iq after 1 month?

Its hard but fun to do! i enjoyed doing it, took me 4 days to finish. Some i didnt know because i m not christian but everything else came to me gradually.
I recommend to everyone else to, as it is a good exercise for your brain, and its addicting because once u get the answer u r like duhhh, so simple.:D
