Is that the experiment that showed that "assholes" are the ones who wouldn't do what they were told if they found it immoral?

While the "nice" and "obedient" always did as they were told? Then we're told never to hire "assholes".

I am not a psychologist, nor did I even take 101 in college, but I don't know if the Milgram Experiment came to a conclusion about perceived personality types. I did have a passing interest in these types of experiments for a few hours and read overviews and conclusions to them and I believe I recall "agreeableness" being something humans strive for to get accepted into a group. The Asch experiment in the 1950's showed people will purposely give the wrong answer if others in the group gave the wrong answer to a basic perception question. [1]

"Assholes", in your context would be people that don't fit the "culture" of the companies "group". Possibly off topic, but it's one of the reasons I always get a bit nervous when companies define their "culture".
