It is true that Allstate is a Wonderlic client, but Wonderlic does not use IQ tests, so the connection is not clear. Did your message get truncated again?
Could it be that you are using "IQ test" as some catchall term for any type of cognitive test? You could define it that way in a vacuum, but that is not how it is being used here. The initial comment was clear about how it was being used. In context, "IQ test" was being used to refer to IQ tests that are academically recognized as IQ tests (WAIS, Stanford–Binet, etc.). HR department pet assessments do not fall under that.
