you are better than you

is there any psychological testing / passive technical analysis done on college applicants in order to determine their level of DESIRE?  i don’t mean sex.  i mean a measure of how strongly they desire to attend.  why isn’t this considered a meaningful score?  It seems at least as indicative of performance as “intelligence” testing.

i guess you’d then have to contrast that data with whatever the generally held public conception of your company - i mean school - happened to be…  and then try to posit the conception that the applicants might have - so meaningful (true over time) conclusions could be reached about applicants / applicant’s motives - as well as your own.
