It sounds simple, but it's difficult to do Who are the best and brightest? How do you determine that? Do the best&brightest from one community or circumstance

Do the best&brightest from one community or circumstance always have the same traits as the best&brightest from another community or circumstance?
My understanding is diversity initiatives attempt to address the latter part (effective or not).

Can the answer to this question be "yes"? In the same way that the best NBA players share traits, I don't see any reason why the best physicians, engineers, etc. also wouldn't share traits across cultures/backgrounds. Going further, can't we measure these traits with outcomes of standardized testing? Given you agree these traits exist, can you propose an better alternative?
