Imagine the same sort of concept as this game, but much more sophisticated, doing more than just an analysis of the semantic density of Facebook posts, but looking at appropriateness of word use, evenness of temper, following and reflection of ideas by peers and (better) experts, and more, and for all social media, not just Facebook. Now we begin to approach something that may provide assessment of qualifications more easily - and more accurately - than traditional tests or evaluations.
