> Why should an IQ test be a job requirement anyways? Why not an EQ test? Does an IQ test discriminate against high EQ people? It's a straw man argument.

It's not the job of a faceless entity to decide on what criteria I should hire someone. If I value EQ I should very well be able to do a test for EQ.

IQ tests sound perfectly reasonable and don't discriminate anymore than any other mental gimmick is requested in interviews today.
