How does this, in any way, reflect someone's IQ? Anyone who just counts the "F's" and doesn't read the sentence should find six.
 
I only got 3. I glossed over the "OF"s even when pausing the video and studying the damn thing carefully. I'd argue that that makes one more of an IQ the the "6" does. Reading carefully =/= high IQ. Granted, neither does reading fast, and to read fast most will not "process" prepositions, like "OF" because they're implied to be there. It's part of the idea of speed reading.

I'm also chagrined that a "test" that touts it's about IQ ends with the phrase "Congrads you're a Genius."

Did this before I got 3. But I spotted the trick this time. I don't if this is an IQ test or a way your brain process the information.

It's more the way your brain processes information. If you're a fast reader you likely skip over prepositions and most words anyway, read the "important ones" and then fill in the blanks in your head without realizing. As I said above, it's more likely those who have a high IQ are going to only see 3 as people with high IQs are likely faster readers, and for this reason. They simply only read what is important.

I know for a fact that I have a genius-level IQ -around 145- from tests I took as a child. This "test" suggests I've only an average IQ.

So the test must be faulty.
 
I only got 3. I tend to skim when I'm reading, so I didn't even pay attention to the OFs.
