The idea itself is fine, but in practice it wouldn't work. The kind of people you are trying to screen out in the process would just study do give the responses of a passing assessment, probably with the help of heavily paid mental health professionals.
Psicology is hard to test and prove, most of the things you are looking to test would not be visible in bloodwork or brainscans.
Not to mention, who is in control of making the tests? Mental health/aptitude tests have had a history of being at least a little bit racist, kinda like the old 'intelligence' tests that were designed to prevent black people from voting.
And add onto that that Former (felonious) President Trump’s personal Doctor said he was the fittest president ever! The doctors will absolutely be on the payroll when it comes to the most powerful politicians.
