It is not like ones social security number. Employers are more
interested in job skills, pas performance, work record. Diplomas
can serve as proxies for rating intelligence. In some jobs, the
employer might prefer a person not too bright. Wages are tied
to labor market economics, not IQs. One can ask
for higher wages if one's particular jàb category is in high demand
with
few people to fill that demand. So in the mathematical area of
variables,
wages are not dependent on IQ per se, they are independent.

In the U.S. some companies did administer an IQ
test to those applying for jobs. A company I worked
for used the Wonderlich IQ test, a truncated test
that could be completed quickly. Not the WAIS, the
standard for IQ tests, which must be administered by
a person trained to do so and which has a complex
scoring system.

The company had to stop using an IQ test sometime
in the 1970s. It had used the scores to decide
whether or not to hire employees for some jobs -
branch managers, for example had to meet a certain
IQ, much higher than for clerical employees.
