About the Same said it well.

And from IxnayBob’s link (two separate paragraphs):

But here’s the rub: SAT scores might not even be that good of a barometer for predicting someone’s job performance. In an interview last year, Google HR exec Laszlo Block told the New York Times, “Google famously used to ask everyone for a transcript and G.P.A.’s and test scores, but we don’t anymore, unless you’re just a few years out of school. We found that they don’t predict anything.”

There are even some academics starting to suggest that these tests don’t even measure how well you’ll do in college, never mind in a cubicle. According to a new study published a couple of weeks ago, researchers found only “trivial differences” in the GPAs and graduation rates between students who submitted their test scores and those who were accepted to college without providing their test results.
