IQ Test
An IQ test is a test purportedly developed to determine a person's intelligence. IQ tests are standardized tests, which suggest they are administered in the same way to different individuals. In the United States, the usage of IQ tests as a basis of work is banned by a United States Supreme Court decision, Griggs v. Duke Power Co., unless the employer can connect the IQ test to an individual's job performance based upon a task analysis. (A task analysis describes and tapes the skills and other requirements required to perform a particular task; for that reason, in order for an IQ test to be allowed as a condition of work, the employer must show that the task performance needs some very little level of operating that can be measured through the IQ test.).
