If I understand you correctly, you're saying:
IQ might be important, but its easy for people to tell what someone's IQ is, so its not something you need to concentrate on. Things like conscientiousness, benevolence, and loyalty are also important, but much more difficult to figure out, and people spend lots of effort trying figure out those traits.
Is that right?
Not exactly. My best guess is that trying to figure out conscientiousness, benevolence, and loyalty are so hard that people mostly trust or mistrust without very good reasons.
And the reason loyalty is on the list is that companies don't want embezzlers, but they don't want whistleblowers, either.
So is the context a job interview or, in general, hiring someone for a job?
You say not exactly, but you seem to be agreeing and clarifying?
Also there are definite strongish conscientiousness signals, such as education level and grooming/dress.
I think this post could use more context. Your point seems interesting and novel, but I'm not 100% certain what it is or what question you're trying to address.
