In the current blind date market, there is such a joke: the mother-in-law chooses her son-in-law, and her favorite profession is none other than civil servants. Even if the monthly salary is only 3,000, it is better than a salesman with a monthly salary of 10,000. Behind this, in fact, it reflects a social phenomenon - the stability and high-quality requirements of the civil servant profession.
If you want to become a civil servant, you must first pass a written exam, which tests a person's IQ and knowledge reserves. This is followed by an interview, where you need to demonstrate high emotional intelligence and resilience. This is followed by a medical examination and a political examination to ensure good health and good conduct. After this series of processes, those who can be finally selected are undoubtedly talents with excellent comprehensive quality.
In this process, the importance of IQ is repeatedly emphasized. There are even many candidates who feel inferior because they are worried about their "poor foundation" and "not smart enough" when preparing for the exam. Actually, this mentality is completely understandable. After all, the competition for public *** is extremely fierce, and the report ratio is often frighteningly high. In this case, IQ naturally becomes one of the key factors that determine victory or defeat.

Public exams have nothing to do with IQ.
In the process of preparing for the exam, the line test is often regarded as a touchstone for IQ. After all, being able to complete all the questions in a limited time will undoubtedly increase your chances of winning.
This concept is widely spread among candidates, and it has also given rise to a lot of seckill skills and shortcuts to improve scores with "high IQ" as the selling point. These techniques are often used under the banner of IQ, on the one hand, to promote your own efficiency, and on the other hand, to imply that you are not doing well because you are not IQ enough.
However, when we really open the line test paper of the public examination, we will find that except for the quantitative relationship part, which may require some in-depth thinking, the other questions are not difficult. So, why is the scoring rate still not high? The reason for this is that time is of the essence. To complete all the questions in a limited time and ensure accuracy, it is not IQ that depends on proficiency.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly a one-sided view to blame poor public examination results on insufficient IQ. In fact, the public examination is more of a test of the candidate's comprehensive quality, including knowledge reserve, problem-solving speed, adaptability, etc. And these can be improved through diligent practice and continuous accumulation.
So, don't let IQ be a fig leaf for your exam preparation. Instead of pinning your hopes on an ethereal IQ, it is better to be down-to-earth and strive to improve your overall strength.
Public Examination Journey: A Double Test of Strength and Luck.
On the journey of the public ***, strength and luck are indispensable factors. While it doesn't all depend on IQ, luck does play a big role.
Choosing a university major and deciding on a position to apply for the public examination are all part of luck. Whether there is a recruitment plan for the position that you liked in previous years this year also requires a little luck. Even for candidates who have successfully landed ashore, it is difficult to guarantee that they can successfully pass the customs again if they are allowed to take the public examination again. Because in the huge group of candidates, everyone's written test scores are almost the same, and if you change the test paper, the ranking may change dramatically.
I've been there before. In an examination for a public institution in a certain city, the recruitment of the two districts was separated. Originally, I was going to take the physical examination in Zone A, but I changed my mind halfway through and decided to take the written test in Zone B (I signed up in both districts at that time, mainly to practice writing). As a result, after the results of Zone B were announced, I found out that my friend who had taken the exam together in Zone A but failed to enter the interview had a higher score in the written test than me in Zone B.
The same situation is not uncommon in the national and provincial examinations. Sometimes the national examination score is more than ten points ahead of friends, but in the next provincial examination, the other party may be more than ten points. The same two people, just changed a set of test papers, and the rankings were completely reversed. That's luck in the public exam.
However, although public examinations require luck, we cannot rely on luck to deal with them. Luck can determine when we go ashore, but it can't determine the outcome of our disembarkation. If you're lucky, you might be able to go ashore two years earlier; If you are unlucky, you can go ashore two years late.
The truth of the public examination: it is not a testing ground for IQ.
Recently, I received a private message from a candidate who expressed his disgust at public examiners who only ask questions and do not provide solutions. I couldn't agree more. However, I was a little surprised by his next request - he wanted me to be able to summarize the rules of the public examination and teach it to him.
This can't help but remind me of the scene in martial arts**, where the master teaches the apprentice the inner strength of the heart, and only needs to face each other with both palms to convey true qi. But the reality is that there are no unique cheats in the public examination, and there are no spells that turn stones into gold. In the end, it is still up to you to be down-to-earth and diligent.
In this world, there are indeed some industries that are highly correlated with IQ, but for us ordinary people, these industries are often out of reach. IQ differences do exist between people, but this difference needs to be magnified in a specific dimension to be revealed. Just like using 1+1=2 to test the IQ of an adult, it can only distinguish between normal intelligence and intellectual disability, but cannot accurately measure the level of IQ.
Similarly, public examinations are not a testing ground for IQ. The line test, or administrative vocational aptitude test, measures an ability, not intelligence. This can also be seen in the setting of question types. For example, although the quantitative relationship problem involves calculation, the key is to make reasonable inferences based on the quantitative relationship in the question stem. The same is true for data analysis questions, which require candidates to derive the desired outcome from a given source rather than simply doing calculations.
At the end of the day, public exams test a candidate's ability to derive a target outcome based on the information already available. This ability does not require a super high IQ, but a solid foundation, keen observation, and the ability to reason reasonably. Therefore, IQ is not the decisive factor for public examinations. What really determines success or failure is your hard work, your approach, and your mindset.
