Comment on Algorithmic Monocultures in Hiringparent

Comments

Not if they are dressed up in a particular way, and not if intelligence is genuinely relevant. I have done a few of these tests for jobs in the US before. They are just bad.

The 2000 census gave enumerator applicants a small multiple choice test that was similar to an IQ and then they hired foremen and line workers working down from the highest scores. I've never worked with as many smart people at a temp job!
