They can probably ask for SAT/ACT scores which are probably a pretty good proxy as well. >In fact college degrees are merely proxies for the lack of IQ data Disagree to a fair degree. The college degree (and grades/other experiences) tell more than how well you do on a multiple choice test. One can of course argue how much more.
