IQ Tests ARE allowed in the US, as clearly stated in the page you linked ... "Broad aptitude tests used in hiring practices that disparately impact ethnic minorities must be reasonably related to the job."

Technical interviews are NOT a loophole about IQ tests ... they are tests that are related to the job.

This is questionable. There is data suggesting job performance is not correlated to interview performance. Also, none of the questions in my last interviews have anything related my actual job, not even the language nor the problems I solved (since I could pick any language to write the code). The link between them are very arbitrary imo.
