What Google doesn't share is how they identify the three important qualities:
Problem solvers: Your cognitive ability, or how well you solve problems.
Leaders: The idea is not whether you were president of the student body or vice president of the bank, rather: "When you see a problem do you step in, help solve it," and then critically, "Are you willing to step out and let somebody else take over, and make room for somebody else? Are you willing to give up power?"
Googleyness: That's what Google calls its cultural fit. It's not "Are you like us?" Bock said. "We actually look for people who are different, because diversity gives us great ideas."

this is very true. we were looking at some strategies to potentially divest one of our business units and then one of our lawyers walks in to the meeting and suggested an idea that in hindsight was simple and obvious. but the accounting/finance folks were thinking one way, we were thinking inside the box for lack of a better phrase and this lawyer walks in with a great idea.
