Smart people get entranced by video games too.
It seems to me that you're actually selecting for people who want to affect the real world, and that might not be especially correlated with intelligence.
The interesting thing is that the desire to affect the real world is probably anti-correlated with doing well in school.
With school as it is now, yes. But perhaps the designers of this eugenics system have control over public education (which in some places and times means all education, private schools being illegal). Then they could guide the people they wanted to the monasteries.
