While I can't necessarily rank on the "gustatory intelligence" scale, I vote we add in a multi-tasking challenge. Give the candidates a list of steps to make a recipe, and have them earn bonus points for cleaning up after themselves WHILE proceeding.
Sadly, my genius is spikey. I can make great food out of dull leftovers (and I rarely use recipes), but I don't clean up. Ask DH! So I'd do badly on that scale.
How about a test of social skills? The child needs to go out into the lobby and borrow a pencil from a the secretary. Then the child is ranked on both success in getting the pencil and also a score from the secretary about how much she enjoyed the interaction. It seems that for many women, our intelligence is about getting what we need, while making others feel good.
