The "what" and the "where" do not require the "how many points" to work as a filter, do they?
I think I spent too much on this discussion already, but the point I am trying to make is that standard tests are bad both as a filter for selection and as predictor of performance.
While not necessarily agreeing, I do understand if someone says "I will hire someone good from a top-tier school vs a top student from a not-so-good university". The "what" and "where" are definitely useful data points to filter out candidates.
What I don't understand is any employer that says they will hire based on SAT, GPA or any variation of an IQ test. It seems to be so unreliable measures to the point of actually hindering the process.
