I am not a lawyer, but given the Supreme Court case Griggs v. Duke Power Company, it’s kind of surprising that IQ would be a metric used by employers in America. Despite the validity of IQ as a tool, it seems legally dicey to me. You’re risking civil rights lawsuits, obviously.

As far as IQ tests as a concept, provided that it’s the only hoop that you’d have to jump through, I’d be game to chop through the interview process with one test and a short technical conversation to prove I have a tech background. The interview process is such a chore to wade through otherwise with BS homework assignments and recruiters who understand nothing trying to feel you out. It’s all much stupider than taking an IQ test to prove ability. I’d much rather take one test and be done with it.
