My best techs tend to be too hands-on to read. I do the reading :)
In fact, my best techs want management training - which I find worrying!

That's what I was looking for, thanks.
I have had a good look at LPI and it covers a whole lot of areas that I
don't know at all well. So I am coming to the view that it is an
excellent indication of breadth of knowledge. There is very little,
however, that demonstrates understanding in depth.
So I think I will use it for the first aspect.
