Aptitude tests for employment are generally not legal.
Really? I have had to take several just to apply to about half a dozen positions (mostly IT admin). Of course, many job interviews have a mini "aptitude test" built into the questioning.

Griggs v. Duke Power (1971) basically required any such tests to be strictly limited to the skills needed to perform the specific job.
Any general aptitude or IQ tests would be a quick way to get an EEOC lawsuit.

The employer has the burden of proof (Griggs vs Duke Power).
The scuttlebutt when I was in school was that an employer couldn’t ask you what your SAT scores were.
I put them on my resume but I don’t think it did me much good (GRE’s were Math 780, Analytical 680, Verbal 580)...SAT’s were Math 740, Verbal 610.
