Why not just make the applicant list their height.

Average CEO height is six feet, so that must mean tall applicants must inherently have a better chance at doing well, right?

Unless they're super successful. Bezos, Zuck, Bloomberg, even Gates & Altman break that rule sufficiently well.

They are all founders rather than elected though. Height seems highly correlated with being picked to be CEO but not with actual competency. Hence these tech CEOs not fitting the trend.
