Since someone taking a test is (probably) motivated to score well, I don't see how calling something an "RQ" test is supposed to overcome the problem of people just not trying in everyday life.

What's the difference between an RQ test, and an IQ test done right?

I'd like to construct a test that measured consistency and the ability to generalize. It would consist of pairs of questions - shuffled, so that the pairing wouldn't be obvious. Each question in a pair would involving applying the same insight. You would lose more points for answering one question in a pair correctly and the other incorrectly, than for answering both incorrectly. This design would also control well for cultural bias in the test.

High IQ with low RQ = Isaac Newton :)

Discovers theory of gravity, still believes in a sky daddy :)
