This will vary across regions. In the DACH region, Roland Berger runs an electronic intelligence test. This test spans three categories, each divided into three sets of questions:
verbal
finding word pairs
completing word sequences
completing sentences
numerical
completing number sequences
inserting mathematical operators
calculating in your head
figural
assembling cut-up figures in your head
rotating dice in your head
completing matrices
Your result will be benchmarked (I think) against a sample of high schoolers. Your relative ranking will determine whether you passed or didn't. People seem to struggle the most with the matrices, the rest is more than doable with preparation.
However, during my 1st round interviews, I was told that they are phasing out the intelligence test and replacing it with an adaptive aptitude test comparable to the GMAT. I advise checking back with HR about what type of test you will be facing.
