Certain departments specifically have IQ tests, in order to ensure you aren’t smart enough to easily get a better job elsewhere.

This internet myth has got to die. ONE case in ONE department, a quarter century ago, does not mean it’s a practice.

I think it’s more nefarious than that. Many departments want a good 'ol boys club where they’re the ultimate authority and they want their officers to fall in line rather than question department actions.
