Sorry for late response - I was hiking without any internet connection ;)
We can somewhat approximately measure what intelligence is. And sometimes it is very important. That's why army was always interested in measuring IQ - they need manpower all the time, but at the same time the cannot afford having people not productive or that may cause some harm with weapons / sharing information, etc. They found out that anyone lower than (as far as I remember) 87 IQ score is worthless and dangerous in army. That's kind of cruel, but I see their point. I think similar things are going on in companies. They want their gains and that's understandable. When we add morals and feelings to that it feels inhuman, but hey, me and you would also like to have a rather more than less intelligent employees / partners / friends.
