That's a very incestious way of looking at it. Psychometrics in itself starts off with an a priori assumption that mental capabilities (and implied, human value) can be measured. One can always introduce another metric, say Integrity-Quotient, and then develop the test for it. Now we not only have this made-up metric, and its corresponding test (look at how objective it is), but now because it can be captured in a number, it is information in the narrowest computational sense. It's reproducibility is irrelevant in this dynamic. The positive trait (integrity) has now shriveled to fit the parameters of the machine. This type of circularity is willful submission to the algorithm. We reduce the richness of human cognition only so it can be bureaucratized (e.g. tie it to some fiscal benefit like UBI). It is not fair in any humane (as opposed to mechanical) sense.
