As I understand it, there is a court case which banned IQ tests as a condition of employment (IQ tests be racist). I think it is largely because of this that businesses decided a college degree was a prerequisite for so many positions. It’s basically an IQ test that takes 4 years to complete.
But IQ tests have been around for a long time and have given very consistent results. There is NO reason to ban them. If businesses could give IQ tests, they might pick up a lot of 18-year-old workers who could work cheap and pick up skills. It’s a win-win for everyone (except the Leftists in Higher Education).
Banning IQ tests because they are racist is a backhanded way of saying that minorities have lower IQs.
Which is, in fact, racist.
