Re: A few thoughts on rascism / affirmative action
It was an IT related entry level job at a large retail clothing company. They supposedly gave the test to most employees at corporate. The first round of interviews consisted of a bunch of us in a room taking this 50 question test and given about 15 minutes. The next day, those of us with high enough scores could interview for positions. The test had very little to do with general knowledge, but had to do with being able to solve problems quickly (which correlates to an important job skill).
That being said, the Griggs case is another example of why the Civil Rights Act is a joke.
