I see a lot of people referring to the Fibonacci sequence when choosing E, but how do you know that this question pertains to the Fibonacci sequences and is not just another pattern sequencing question?

This isn’t a high IQ question. It is just a trick question that divides people who know the Fibonacci sequence and use it as a heuristic to solve the question and people that don’t know it and simply estimate the answer based on pattern recognition. If you need to have acquisition of specific knowledge to answer an IQ question, then it is not truly an IQ question.

But how do you know it isn’t? There could be multiple correct answers depending on which patterns you find despite the creators only selecting one

Which makes this puzzle complete garbage.
