Could we replace college with something like Chess or Go, for general intelligence requirements? (feddit.org)

With the general inaccessibility of college in the US (with AGI, they're basically pay to play), would Chess or Go be a good qualifier for job mental acuity?

Both can be monitored on the spot and certified by third-party associations.

Then they would still fare poorly against those who both excel at chess and have gone to college.

    I don't think that's how skills work.

    Let's say you get your wish and everyone is judged on their ability to play chess. You now have two prospective employees for an administrative role and both have a similar chess rating. Which of their other skills or achievements are you going to factor when making your decision?
