For some reason, there are a few parallel IQ tests that are allowed to continue, despite the Supreme Court ruling against IQ tests. The NFL still uses the Wonderlic test and the US military has IQ tests. If the Wonderlic test did nothing, might not the NFL drop it? As a single number, the IQ test has indeed been found to be a fantastic predictor of the success of a person, despite objections. People hate on it all day long, and perhaps their reasons to hate it are correct, but it remains an extremely useful as a _heuristic_, if you're allowed to measure it. The alternative seems to be 4 years of schooling that saddles the student with crushing and increasingly-crushing amounts of debt.
