Does Klarna still do the IQ test as part of their hiring process?

Yes, sadly a quite common part in too many recruitment processes here in Sweden.

I had to do it twice for different companies that used the same IQ-test platform.

And most of the time it's not even proper IQ-test but only Raven Matrice test + maybe quick math tests.

Funny thing was that I did very good (apparently according to the HR person) on one of them, but did horrible enough they didn't even call back on the second test.

grids my gear why this is still a common practice in Sweden. HR in Sweden seems to be about one or two decades behind rest of the world in their efficiency.
