All of my friends at uni would just stare blank-eyed whenever I spoke of anything programming related. My coworkers (and this is at a FAANG) don't give a f.ck and are just here for the easy paycheck. In general, very few care about programming. Sad.
Even when I speak with my father, he always has the "whatever gets the job done" boomer attitude and shuts down discussion.

I mean, if I was hiring, I'd do both.
I also don't think that IQ tests are illegal, are they, for hiring in the US? That sounds like one of those reddity rumours.

If I were doing small-scale hiring, I wouldn't do IQ tests because I'd just have a scaling hierarchy of subject-related interview questions, with the expectation that everyone would fail the hardest question. I don't think I'd learn much if my close friends all took Iq tests and told me their scores - I've interacted with them enough to know how good they are at various tasks.
If I were managing a large-scale hiring operation I might include an IQ test as a source of data though.

I am not sure how true that is in practice though, you just get a test that's a "job performance test" that's actually an IQ test
