You can't put any of this stuff in the catagory of absolutes, all we can do is look at generalities here.
Gotta agree with the desire part and disagree with the absolutes part. The armed forces of most countries have done incredible stats on standardization and biometrics. The absolutes of job requirements are available in most cases. It is the application and the blocking that Shay is rightly pointing out.
