I live in a country where (to the best of my research) IQ testing for hiring is legal. I wouldn’t ever hire somebody on an entry level job without an IQ test again—it’s just too useful as a predictive tool. This being said:
I only used it as a primary rough filter to exclude candidates (ie >110 for a challenging marketing job, which is less than an SD)
didn’t take one myself. Thought about it, just don’t see the benefit
wouldn’t dream of doing that for a freelancer, contracter and generally anybody that actually has a trail to look at. It’s not only offensive, but useless: no point in trying to measure potential when it’s actualised and in front of you
