I’m surprised that no one has pointed out that intelligence tests are biased toward certain demographics."
That's a fallacy. Any excuse to explain poor performance.
Due to the dempgraphics of the neighborhood,my applicants were 70% African-American and 30% Hispanic. In ten years I hired 88 workers to work in the foundry industry. Here's a sample question that I asked during applicant interviews. Admittedly I did not give them paper or calculators, it was just a simple question:
Our customer ordered two dozen parts. Now he wants to add twelve more. How many parts do you put in the box?
I'm still waiting for a correct answer. Believe it or not. Try as I might, this real world experience does influence me. Just like the nobel winner was influenced.

Hmmm will it stay on in a crash or will it become a projectile?

See what happens when you let a zebra do the house painting? They get more on themselves than onthe house. Anyone have any tips on how to get white paint out of a zebra's coat?

Had one guy pad his resume by claiming that he served in the "US NAVE". Yep, misspelled "Navy".
Scheduled a 9:00AM interview. Applicant showed up at noon, then asked if I could postpone it another hour so he could get some lunch.
One guy flipped open his cell phone and called someone.
He told that person my salary offer and then said the "other" job offer is offering him more. He would need seven thousand more to consider working here. I told him to take the other offer as I ushered him out.
His parting words, "Okay how 'bout just five thousand more...I really want to work here."
"Just to let you know, I'm non-denominational and will be taking all religious holidays off."
"Excuse me?"
"Yes. All the Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and so forth. Even the Satanist holidays too. It's against the law for you to discriminate on the basis of religion."
"The tools you let me use...I can take those home with me? 'Cause at my last job they fired me for stealing when I did that."
"No you can't take the tools home."
"Aw man. Can I at least borrow them? 'cause I have this side business racing motorcycles."
