I think they use "aptitude tests" or "personality tests" that are at least packaged up to look relevant to the job, not direct naked IQ tests? I can't offhand find companies using actual IQ tests in hiring.
And if you're saying "well those are just repackaged IQ tests, so doesn't it count", then 1. it sure seems like IQ tests are illegal then, but 2. it also seems like they're so useful that companies are trying to smuggle them in anyway?
- tptacek 1y agoNo, they use general cognitive tests, advertised as such. I don't think there's a way to wiggle out of this: IQ testing in hiring is fully lawful and accepted in US employment law.
- FeepingCreature 1y agoWell, I couldn't find any that were general cognitive tests rather than some sort of skill or culture-fit test, at least ostensibly. Link?
