Re resources: if you look at how IQ tests work they usually attempt to factor out resources as best they can - no mechanical aids allowed, fixed time, etc. The only "wealth" you are permitted is what they can't strip off - education, genes, etc.
I imagine computer tests could be a bit like that - e.g. no net connection allowed, but you don't get penalised for having a faster CPU. For example, if you look at computer go contests, people get to supply their own hardware - and the idea is to win. You do not get many bonus points for using an Apple II.
