I don’t agree with that model of acceptance noticing dimensions of variance among individuals. Education is used because it’s at least nominally available to everyone, even if it’s actually mostly caused by individual capability, effort, and parental resources (not necessarily in that order). It’s objective enough to be easy, and correlated enough to important things (how useful it would be to invest energy in a relationship with the person) that it makes a good proxy to more specific dimensions that are more problematic for various reasons.
I suspect RQ would fail in a lot of ways—it’s not simple and objective, so it’ll hit the IQ problem—people who don’t like it will claim measurement bias (they’re right, and it would be worse if it mattered enough for rich people to game it). I suspect it’d ALSO fail in predicting outcomes, if it’s somehow excluding “innate” (including genetic and early-environmental) strengths.
