Wonderlic says I'm bright, employers say, I'm too white
So, the insanity continues.


As part of a recent interview I was asked to complete the Wonderlic test. Fair enough, I did, made it through 43 questions, skipped 2, felt like my answers were solid and I likely scored a 41.

I won't go in to a bunch of detail but a score of 41 supposedly means I'm pretty smart.

Week goes by after the test was taken and I receive a call from the hiring manager. Basically, really strong Wonderlic score, haven't seen many that high could I send them my LinkedIn profile.

Struck me as odd, I had gone through a couple of phone interviews, completed the test, what do they want the LinkedIn profile for. Anyhow, I go through my profile before sending the link to make sure nothing crazy is on there and that I haven't commented on any postings that could be deemed controversial.

2 days after sending the link I get the thanks but not thanks email.

What was on my profile that would cause them to grow cold, I looked at it again and there's nothing, just my work history and resume which they already had plus my picture.

At that point I realized, my picture showed them I was white. I have been refusing to disclose a race on my application and before going further they wanted to make sure they had the right color candidate (anything but white, and especially not an old white male).

Could it be something else, I suppose, but they already had all of my info and were anxious to move forward until they got my profile so what else should I believe ?????

Today I'm picking out the bridge I'm going to move under next week. Hopefully a few of you will come visit and cheer me on in my bum fights.

Can't prove it and even if I could, the courts might applaud them for creatively identifying and denying employment to an undesirable
