That's formulated the wrong way. An IQ test per se cannot be racist because it is not a human being with intentional behaviour. This means blame must fall on the test designer or test conductor to introduce a racist biasing. In places where accurate results matter, the best available methods of psychometrics are used: http://enwp.org/Progressive_Matrices These are free of bias: culture, language, reading/writing ability does not matter. If these are used and assuming the test conductor did not screw up, and if white evaluees score better than black and brown ones, then it is an objective measurement of reality, not racism. Thus I think the "accepted wisdom" is wrong. If you know of any examples of racism through IQ tests, indicating intention, I'd be glad to hear of them.

Wouldn't coding interviews show the same bias?

>The accepted wisdom is that IQ tests are inherently racist and favor white evaluees over black and brown ones.

Huh? Where did you hear that?

The reality is that Asians score the highest on IQ tests, whites score somewhat below, blacks score lowest.

The accepted wisdom is that Asians have the highest IQs, followed by whites, followed by blacks.

Well, that's not entirely true. Ashkenazi Jews have the highest IQs, but their IQ-advantage is in the verbal area, which is why when you see lists of the highest-paid lawyers a disproportionate number are Tribe members.

Keep in mind that these are averages. There are plenty of dumb Asians and there are plenty of smart blacks! You can't apply group statistics to individuals.

What about other countries?

> IQ tests (for interviewing) are typically spatial comparisons, some math, logic puzzles, reading comprehension, and pattern recognition

I definitely got these in tech interviews. Thoughtworks gave me one last year.
