I'm torn. On one hand, we know that without "metrics" recruiters and clueless people resort to other even more idiotic measurements. How white your skin is, how tall you are, how nice smile you have, how firm your handshake is, how fat you are, what university you went to, ... On the other hand, iq tests are fucking demeaning. It's "we need testing!" but you are too lazy to come up with a useful test. Personally, I blame software developers' lack of interest in unionizing. It's the main reason we have to put up with this shit.
