He also argues that it would be perfectly possible though expensive to prevent general rationality tests that would be akin to intelligence tests, and that also using RQ proxies for things such as college admission would have great social benefits.

Is there a typo here? The two clauses don't seem to quite go together.

I think he meant to write "invent".

Changed it to "develop". (I think "invent" was what I originally meant, but "develop" makes more sense.)
