The problem with applying this sort of measuring regime against education or medicine vs. a sales team or IT service operation is that the outcomes are difficult to assess, because he assessments are bogus.

A high quality general education should lead to a good outcome on a standardized test, (Say the SAT) right?

The reality is the complexity of the assessment requires preparation. Without understanding SAT test strategy, you won't do well. When I took AP US History, the difference between a 4 and a 5 (the highest score) was understanding how to "stage" essays for the graders.

Instead of worrying about red teaming standardized tests, we should think log and hard about the cultures being created in these environments.
