Does higher-level mathematics require more than just high "mathematical" IQ? e.g. verbal IQ, visuo-spatial IQ, etc.? Which fields are more taxing on the other IQ subtests and why? If there are branches of mathematics that are strangely correlated with "non-mathematical" IQ subtests, then what is "mathematical" IQ even measuring? Could it be an indicator that perhaps the branch itself is somewhat non-mathematical?

Spatial. Like viewing negative numbers as inverted inside out or higher, and "see" the forces "tranfering" into each other.

Its E=mc2. Squared. Its already geometric. Its just difficult for physics because youre turnng a one dimensional equation, translating it into 2D planes then again extrapolating it into 3D, often making that 'square' into a hypercube.

It helps to have split hemispheres in your brain. Each "processing it" in multiple directions.

Imagine thinking the highest truths are discovered through a faculty in which we're mogged by chimps.

Spatial seeing is good for understanding ''what'' you're doing.

You notice this instantly in teens who learn to complete the square, some people need to drill a method into their head on how to do it, while for others it just ''clicks'' what they're doing.

The latter having higher spatial IQ, and can visualize the idea of completing a square, being more suited for engineering than the former because of this.

As a theoretical physcist that specializes in dimentipnal spacetime theories.

I mog the entire planet and all humans in this regard. I would know, I research the greayest alive and compare my works to theirs.

Youre not smart enough to invalidate my credentials, as you think smart is what you think is smart, not what is. Your heroes are retarded to me.

Did I also mention I deeply research phenomonology? Physiology by genetic origins as well. Just....letting you know.

Spatial IQ is incredibly useful in high level maths, i couldnt have learned pure maths without some mental visualisation.

yes although I doubt it is well studied
see for example how different people are good at different types of math https://bentilly.blogspot.com/2010/08/analysis-vs-algebra-predicts-eating.html
for subjects like geometry and topology I would guess having a very good spatial IQ would help, as an example I think Milnor in this interview says he can't understand things without a picture https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVBm155zRFE

How does spatial IQ help with understanding higher dimensional spaces (like 4-dimension spaces) or complex numbers?
