Do you think learning programming improves IQ? Or rather fluid intelligence?

Question

I know that writing code requires a good deal of logical reasoning. Most IQ tests have sections that try to measure logical reasoning amongst other things. Do you think exercising logical reasoning ability in coding will yield a higher IQ?

I should add that most programmers I have conversed with have high IQ's (above 135). I have 149 as my IQ and I'm curious to know if my IQ of fluid intelligence will go up exponentially...

Answer 1

@samuel robinson
I think neuroscience would be the best way. comparing brain structures and active regions during problems solving. maybe that's not how you would measure it, but its my first idea, and I'm sure as the science progresses it'll eventually have a way to quantify problem solving abilities

Answer 2

I think IQ is a faulty, inaccurate test.
It makes me wonder if machine learning good produce an accurate test though, somehow

Answer 3

I don't really trust these online IQ tests and the tests done via mobile apps. I had once scored 193 in an IQ test. and the lowest ever score I had was around 165, scoring over Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. SO really, i don't trust these IQ test available online

Answer 4

"I think IQ is a faulty, inaccurate test.
It makes me wonder if machine learning good produce an accurate test though, somehow"

hmm... but without IQ tests, how would we quantify intelligence??
