The real reason they ask you to take the test has nothing to do with its validity or its scientific background. They ask from their prospective employees to protect themselves from litigation in case they dont hire someone belonging to protected minorities. Thus they can rebute any discrimination action by saying that they didn't pass the test or that it reflected undesirable traits and they have an objective proof of that.
