“I thought that kind of testing had been ruled discriminatory in Griggs v. Duke Power?”
I thought it was discriminatory simply because, according to my headhunter, they disproportionately screened out blacks. I suppose the companies are somewhat protected by the fact that, in all cases, you have to take the test before they ever see you. I don’t know the ins-and-outs of the law and, it’s possible, neither do the companies requiring the tests. Incidentally, the tests were all independently administered and scored by a third party company and they also never get to see or talk to the candidate.
Personally, I’d rather deal with tests than the must-haz-degree BS that’s only served to dilute actual learning.
