How a psychometric analysis of employees would have prevented this incident?

Psychometric testing as a recruiting tool can help to reduce risks by revealing a candidates character and behavioral patterns. Personality profiling possibly can evaluate how an applicant behaves in a specific situation, like whether or not if he/she can handle the pressure situations if offered the job.
In an interview process, it is easy to evaluate a candidate’s education, experience, and skillset than analyzing their performance and personality traits. Psychometric testing aims to solve this problem and offer as much insight into a candidate’s suitability possible.
The main goal is to concede the applicant’s response in a peculiar situation, attitude and preference, and reaction and actions. Using this in an interview process, the recruiter will venture to read if the applicant fits into the business culture and the contour they are looking for. Here, attitudes, values, behavior, opinions, interests, are all put into thought.
In the above case, if the recruiter has done any sort of psychometric test on the accused, there may be a the possibility that his impulsive behavior might have known and this unfortunate incident can be avoided.
