I believe the answer is:
its
'a quandary for contractors?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'oddly iq test' is the wordplay.

'iq'+'test'='iqtest'
The alternate letters of 'iqtest' are 'ITS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for its that I've seen before include "The thing's" , "Neuter possessive pronoun" , "Another form of 'tis" , "Sit (anag.)" , "Belonging to something nonhuman" .)
