They asked me to do a take home exercise where I was to spend 1-2 hours creating emails to both a prospect and an inbound lead.

I said Interview difficulty as very difficult only so it would stand out due to the IQ TEST?! I think it was actually Easy until the last stage where, I undetstand things can go wrong in technology, unexpected Issues that are come up, but an IQ Test Really?!
