IQ and general knowledge tests, then MMA contest (A ruler has to be fit and young) and a real Base-Battle a la "command and conquer" (The succes of Roman Emperors was they were excellent commanders).

The leader must have the right orientation, such as full identification with the State and willingness to prioritize a greater Whole (the State, its Worldview and its cause) over anyone's personal interest. Modern totalitarian systems had the right basic approach of a party apparatus. They failed as their ideologies were flawed but I view them as precursors of an ultimate system of this kind.
