   yes this is very important, according to me, because political leaders need to have a high level of sensitivity to connect with the public.

   It isn't necessary and it could become a political weapon to control who enters the office. It would be too difficult to ensure an unbiased evaluation takes place, at least I personally don't trust... moreIt isn't necessary and it could become a political weapon to control who enters the office.

It would be useless really, because political parties will question the validity of these evaluations whenever they see fit, and as you said, weaponize this tool. I do not think it would help, as other comments say, to avoid deranged or insensitive leaders. Because these evaluations can be faked, paid for, altered, etc. I think regular drug-tests and mental health check-ups are more useful.  Less

   Absolutely. That is completely essential. No country should have psychiatrically deranged people running the nation; that's how we end up with populists.

It would be beneficial to certify the capabilities of political leaders, but it also poses several issues. There would need to be a neutral, third-party group of professionals to analyze candidates, which would be hard to find. There is also no way to guarantee that the public accepts any diagnoses for their favored politician(s). I do not think there is an easy and consistent way to administer these evaluations.  Less
