I think other people have explained it deeper than me, but I’ll give it a shot anyways.
We *assume* recognizing patterns means that you are smart. We then create a series of patterns with 1 picture missing and ask you to fill it in. If you can recognize the pattern, you are smart. If you cannot recognize the pattern, you are not smart.
Keep in mind, as everyone will tell you, IQ doesn’t necessarily mean smart, and **certainly** doesn’t mean smart in every sense of the word.
