I'd like to read more background on the graphic's apparent contradictions.
It calls IQ irrelevant, but values a metric of "high fluid intelligence" including logic, pattern recognition, and abstract thinking which... IQ is supposed to measure? If they've developed a more effective measure of general intelligence that correlates to actual success then why isn't this huge news? Why hasn't IQ already been supplanted by this metric?
And more personally relevant, what is the difference between "project completion skills" and the supposedly irrelevant "conscientiousness" metric? Something to do with intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation?

Do you know any persons who have scored or would score high on IQ tests who are ungraceful and awkward in social situations? Have you seen such persons unable to take advantage of their abstract thinking ability to avoid awkwardness in social situations? (Example: Failing to realize what they said implied about someone present.) Have you seen such persons persist in making logical arguments concerning a certain point, long after it should be obvious that the audience has ceased to care? Have you sat by and watched someone on your team do that in an important meeting?

I've scored decently high on IQ tests and have been plenty stupid nonetheless.
I love Stephenson more than the next guy, but the subtleties of intelligence you're inferring aren't at all hinted at by the graphic. Well rounded people can handle ambiguity, but intentional ambiguity in communication needs to be less vague to be effective.
I took the test and did fairly well I think. There were a lot of pattern matching tests and some interesting things where you had to spot rotations, mirrors and various swaps/transformations. Those were the more standard intelligence tests. Then there are tests for emotional intelligence. Situations, relationships, how you react, what you value.
The structure of the session and course material itself were kind of a let down though and they let a lot of people in who don't seem that stellar.
