Re: Is Poker Playing a better test for would be presidents?
Both poker and chess are bad as analogies for real life, and I think having skill in either have little connection with aptitude at leadership. Maybe poker is a bit better since it shows you that you can often do the right thing and still have a bad outcome more so than chess will do, and to some degree shows the value of statistics based decision making - though people tend to overdo that when they learn it.
But really I'd just prefer if the president was a good manager, leader, politician and diplomat.
