If the work has the potential to cause a mental disturbance then you want the baseline to be fairly close to normal. If the guy that gets gore boners is tasker with looking at disturbing content all day and then had some sort of mental break it would probably be a lot worse than what a normal person might end up doing.

Imagine the questioning in a liability case, too.

Hiring the acknowledged gore enthusiast with the devil tattoo’s and light criminal record miiiight impact the foreseeability of negative outcomes in or as a result of the workplace.

Maybe people with memory issues or lack of empathetic responses could be used, but even then, you’re piling something odd on something dysfunctional.
