So you are referring not to an individual but that as a whole societies IQ goes up?

I just want to know if it's a common practice in american companies. I don’t see how an IQ test can be wrong or interpreted as ilegal.

It's uncommon and probably illegal thanks to the following  supreme court case. Some legal experts claim it can be done in certain situations, which is why I said it is a Grey area but one businesses are scared to venture into

So in short. IQ tests in this case and American law is case law, we're found to be discrimatory against African Americans because African Americans score lower on IQ testa

Yes, only when all the job candidates are whites, the IQ test is OK. Lol. 

You americans have a big problem with racism.
