You are describing Isaac Asimov’s novel “Profession”.
I was thinking this sounded a bit like Gattaca myself (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gattaca)
Except measuring brainwaves instead of genetics.
We absolutely go in the direction of the SF dystopias. Another great example is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limes_inferior from 1982.
"Profession" is not quite a dystopia, though, considering the ending.
That seems to be a very interesting author. Sadly no english translations of his works seem to exist? Kurva!
