What kinds of tests should I be giving people to measure their
aptitude to become good programmers/problem solvers?

I work in a really specialised field and it is actually better to hire
someone who has experience in this field then train them to do a
programming than hire a programmer to learn the business.

Are IQ tests enough? Or should I be looking for something else?

Cheers,
Carlo
