I believe that meritocracy is a better system of government and solution production than democracy. CMV

One example: People who are scientifically illiterate should not get to decide education policy as we have seen in the creationism in schools debacle. A better education policy would be decided by those who are most qualified, not popular opinion. 

People who are logical should be accorded responsibility in our society. Imagine a society in which logic skills were showcased like a badge. Everyone could see how well everyone else scored on tests of logic. People with a specific expertise would be accorded responsibility in a relevant discipline. Imagine a program like OK cupid that matched jobs with those who are most competitive as indicated by rigorous tests. Would this world not be more efficient and prosperous than the one we currently inhabit?

Logical <> responsible

Your assumption that logic is the only factor determining someone's success or failure in a particular position is frankly... illogical. 

A 'logical' person might conclude that they don't need to do their job when no one is watching them.

A person with a sense of duty, pride or ownership is the person who will make responsible decisions even if it doesn't help them or they don't get 'credit' for it.  These are emotional based motivators.

No because rigorous tests are already used in disciplines where that criteria is appropriate.  Most jobs value soft skills higher than technical skills because, often, it is easier to train people technical skills than train them 'soft' skills.  Geniuses that can't/won't work with people or listen to their boss may add less value than someone of average intelligence who is easy to work with and consistently follows through on projects.
