Utopia Slavery Qualifications

Let's start this whole question off by exorcising the negative connotations of the word from our minds.

Out foul demons, OUT!

Our fictional near-future world has no negative instances of slavery or oppression in its background. Our fictional country does, however, have a long-standing law that separates the population into two distinct classes or roles. For lack of a better or more generic word, we shall call them slaves and owners.

This choosing is done at, or very near, birth (≤1 week of age). This choosing is done by the doctors/specialist staff at the birth location using state-of-the-art technology designed to make better decisions than those made in the past.

No credence is given to environmental factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, social position, or family!

The question is thus. Which factors could staff at a fully equipped medical facility use to test someone's predisposition to something akin to an A/B personality (some personality types are infinitely more comfortable receiving orders rather than giving them and vice versa)?

For the near future setting, consider only technology widely expected to be available within the next 10 years. Please note: this doesn't have to be 100% fool-proof, as no system is perfect.
