This isn’t something I find sufficiently compelling to spend a lot of time on.
But I note that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel_Assessment does not seem particularly reassuring. I note that your first reference does not mention the IAT under that name, and from skimming doesn’t appear to talk about it under a different name. I note that the IAT not working on women is consistent with the IAT simply failing to replicate. And I note that
The reproducibility crisis is real, and most psychometric tests are lousy for a number of reasons, but it is possible to extract data that is useful, though not perfect, for making decisions.
Sounds semantically similar to “a lot of things are failing to replicate, but I think this thing works anyway”.

So I remain unconvinced.
