Yes, that's precisely my point. Griggs (and some later ruling and legislation along the same lines) established when an employer can use a test to evaluate applicants that indirectly discriminates against a protected class. From the article:
> The Supreme Court ruled that under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, if such tests disparately impact ethnic minority groups, businesses must demonstrate that such tests are "reasonably related" to the job for which the test is required.
For programmers (as well as many other jobs), IQ (within a certain range) could be borne out as being reasonably related. GP was claiming that it is illegal to administer IQ tests during interviews in the US, which is not true.
