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.

    Could we replace college… for general intelligence requirements?

    College is not a general intelligence test. It trains and certifies a particular knowledge and skill requirement depending on your course.

    I love Go and I’m working on my chess, but these are also very specific intelligence tests. They will quickly just become proxies for social class again based on which families can afford chess and Go tutors and/or have previous generations that have been trained in those skills.

    The YouTube channel WebGoatGuy recently ran an event you might be interested in. It was called Strategy Jam. A new abstract strategy game was designed and tested in secret, then revealed one hour before a tournament was held for it.
