Bearing in mind the human tendency to favor authority over quality given a choice between the two, I think it's important when testing to distinguish between "aura of competence" and ability to achieve useful results, and after testing to connect the former to the latter.
Right. EY has mentioned a couple of times that he expects graduates of the hypothetical Rationality Dojo to exude their abilities, like Taking a Level in Badass, or his hedge-fund elites.
I want to clarify that I do not agree with this notion, and I suspect that individuals who exude preternatural skills are primarily good at exuding, not at performing. The example was just an example.
