Hire good gamers! Video game performance can act as a “stealth test” of real skills:
🏙️Good Civilization players have better management skills
⌨️Performance in MOBAs like LoL correlates with IQ
⚔️Guild leaders in World of Warcraft are more likely to be good leaders in real life
🏙️Good Civilization players have better management skills
⌨️Performance in MOBAs like LoL correlates with IQ
⚔️Guild leaders in World of Warcraft are more likely to be good leaders in real life
