Why do employers ask for SAT scores and should I submit mine?

Recently noticed that some job applications will ask for an SAT score (which I find odd). Wondering why this is a thing?

Adding onto this, my Sat is around a 1500, would this be sufficient to submit to employers like KKR?

High standardized test scores prove you're either intelligent or wealthy, and financial institutions want both. Your score is good enough.

 

LOL, wasn't trying to come off as bragging. Just thought my score might hurt when I constantly see 1550+ scores on here, with those kids getting into top schools.
