I'm not sure I've ever read an article that's more wrong. First, refusing to an employer's criteria of hiring will never get you hired. There are more degrading things in this world than explaining technical, even trivial, things to a non-technical person. Secondly, SAT or any other standardized scores aren't a test of intelligence. Even purporting so shows your level of intelligence. I know plenty of engineers and programmers who did poorly on standardized tests yet who are freaking geniuses compared to others who scored much higher. Yeah, I agree that reviewing resumes more closely might be a better indicator of qualification than a phone interview, but I don't think they should be entirely forgone. They add an important level of inspection.
