I'm not going to respond to your first few paragraphs because it's all opinion stuff that I don't really care to get into at the moment.

Anyway, you realize that even if there were a bunch of different interest checks there would still be that problem of only one section of the site applying to you, right? 1x1 would still all be in the 1x1 section, no matter how many different interest check sub-forums there are. You'd also kind of be lessening your potential roleplaying pool by having multiple interest check sub-forums for 1x1, because just as with the group RP sections there would be tons of people who are capable of going Advanced but choose not to because of any of a variety of reasons. Check out how for the group RP interest check boards the Casual section has over 3 times the number of interest check threads that the Advanced section does; that'd almost certainly be the case with splitting up 1x1 interest checks too. Wanting a better way to differentiate between levels in the 1x1 interest checks is cool and all, but making more sub-forums may not be the best way to do it and mixing them up with the group stuff is absolutely not a good way to do it.

Actually, I just had an idea. Having level-based 1x1 interest check sub-forums would be best done by making the 1x1 section have 3 different sub-forums for interest checks rather than tacking them under the various group RP interest checks. That'd keep everything sleek and intuitive, and it would make it easy to keep the nice tab system in place that lets you swap between the Interest Check and Roleplay sub-forums of a certain section without going back to the home page; 1x1 would just have 3 different Interest Check tabs shown rather than the one. I honestly don't care one way or the other about the 1x1 interest check area being split up or staying merged, I'm just against them being muddled with the group stuff, and doing it this way would keep 1x1 and group stuff in their own areas where they belong. What do you think about doing it this way instead of how you proposed?
