Its a nice idea, although when making decisions regarding the live and death of many people, an empathic person might simply shut down, so it might be good to include some more dispassionate people who can shut up and multiply.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure there exist tests that can measure these things without being faked. Maybe you could measure empathy by looking at oxytocin levels? But more oxytocin=more empathy is a huge simplification.
Do you have any good ideas for a goal/empathy/altruism/duty test?
I don't think that's the case. EQ seems to make people both empathic and also able to keep a clear head when it comes to tough decisions.
