In my view, we should do something similar in politics. Every government (indeed every organisation) should employ psychologists to assess potential leaders and determine their suitability for power. Is this even an idea? Sure its a sequence of words, but it is really an idea? If only "the right people" were "in power" everything would "be great." Seems like a basic category error to assume things like positions of power exist that control and access can exist over a "position of power." Why is the correct solution the identification of "good people" instead of actually incentivizing everyone to play emergent positive sum games. This fake idea of a kumbayah utopia the just pushes all the bad people away is nonsensical.
