The study:

The stated purpose:
we investigated whether individuals with IQs ≤ 90 who completed college experienced the same social and economic benefits higher-IQ college graduates did.
The hilarious accidental money shot:
Although most individuals with IQs ≤ 90 did not have a college degree, the rate at which they completed college had increased approximately 6-fold in men and 10-fold in women relative to rates in the previous generation.
So the researchers were trying to instill confidence in their sample size, but they inadvertent revealed what most of us have suspected for years: colleges are rubber stamping degrees for stupid people in general and stupid women in particular.
Given average white IQ is ten points higher than 90 while average black IQ is five points lower, it’s probably safe to assume that most of these cognitively challenged college grads are black women a.k.a. the most insufferable and belligerent demographic on the planet.
We’re fast tracking literal retards into positions of authority and influence because muh racism. Bodes well!
Add in the push to make all college free and degrees will be pretty worthless outside of skilled things like STEM. I’m surprised companies don’t just go back to aptitude tests. They are fair across the board
we use tests for almost every role in the company now. it's just not even close.
we don't hire libart losers, but it's just massively more effective.
If you don't mind my asking, whatncompany is that? Might just apply if they are testing for capability rather than credentialing or shaking the right hands.
would love to promo it but not doxing myself.
Anyway to message? I would love to work somewhere that takes actual productivity and capability into consideration.
Can you give me a hint on the industry then?
