>People have their reasons for why they choose to focus on some things and not others.

You're saying that like those "reasons" are properties of the personality of their beholders. They are not, it's coping mechanisms all the way down.

>Perhaps the most important goal of a good society is to be able to assign people to things they’re most suited for.

Perhaps we should stop putting things as wild as brains into boxes labelled "suited for X, suited for Y". Perhaps the most important goal of a good individual is to be able to leave others alone, so they can flourish instead of trying to fit the arbitrary concepts that random other participants made up for them to fit into.
