I can't believe I had to scroll this far down to find this comment! People are just assuming that positively correlating testing with further testing somehow implies that the way we test is indicative of future work performance or even your quality as a human (whatever that means). They may be correlated, but a person's ability to sit exams moves the needle much more significantly. More so for universities — I've taught many students who graduate with great scores that I would never ever hire.
Using the same methods to measure wildly diverse people is a tragedy that causes individuals who could otherwise contribute to society in very meaningful ways to have fewer doors open to them.
