Since its development in the early 20th century, IQ testing has been used in a variety of organizational contexts. This practice is premised in a large body of research that finds a strong relationship between IQ scores and future job performance. However, on this basis, IQ scores are also employed as a criterion for distributing scarce resources. The latter application of IQ testing has the potential to make the IQ score - job performance relationship, in part, selffulfilling. In examining this dynamic, we also consider the broader issues of how the social sciences influence practices and vice-versa.
