Behavioural Intelligence is also important in hiring "right fit" team members whose styles and motivators align with the position.

The DISC theory of behaviour was developed in 1928 by psychologist William Moulton Marston in his book Emotions of Normal People. He focussed only on psychological factors that were directly observable and measurable through objective means.
