Personally, I think the IQ or any personality test shouldn't be a be a main determinant for any job since someone with a lower IQ can easily outperform someone with a higher IQ if they know what they are doing and have common sense.

In football for example, they don't determine who is going to be on the team just from forty times or how much someone can bench, they determine that from who performs best on the field and it should be the same way for any job. Being extremely fast helps a receiver a lot but I guarantee that 7 out of 10 times, the fastest guy will not be the best just like I bet the person with the highest IQ will rarely be the best person for a job. If they are not smart enough to make the cut they will naturally be left behind just like an unathletic person will be left behind at football.

The IQ or whatever tests can be good to weed out some people but it should never have the final say.
