K,
I work for a major corporation and I had to take a diversity class at work.
As part of the training, we had to take a "personality" test which typed
people into four classes of people related to leadership by answering
questions and working with a group.
There is nothing that is going to guarantee someone is going to be a great
basketball player. But I believe there are ways are measuring leadership,
work ethic, team building, etc that I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss....

Yeah, it's pretty standard stuff all over, and not usually associated with
diversity so much as intangibles in evaluating equivalent talent.
Briggs-Meyer is probably the best known of these personality typing
tests/theories. I assumed this doctor just had his own way of interpreting
them or had maybe expanded on the basic model.
