Rejected petition Mandatory psychological testing for Cabinet members

More details

Psychological testing/profiling should be mandatory for members of the Cabinet.

Those who govern should possess common human qualities such as empathy, compassion, integrity, and so on. There is a manifest danger to the public if someone in an executive office does not possess such traits; or if they suffer from psychopathology, extreme narcissism, pathological lying, etc.

The public should have confidence that this is not the case. Prospective members of the government should be subject to such tests, administered by independent experts, as a matter of routine.
