Oh. I thought tangible ALWAYS related to something that was measurable and/or could be grasped. You make it seem like a gray area or I misunderstand your first sentence
However, you do make what would appear to be the meaning of intangible as it relates to QB with this statement- "The things that people identify as "intangibles" for QB's relate to subjective categories such as leadership, work ethic, etc. Basically, abstract categories that one person could conceivably perceive as different than another."
That makes sense to some extent with the key word in that statement being subjective. In other words it's opinion vs something that can be measured.
Yes, but understand that although we might be able to measure something, our form of measurement might still be questionable. For instance, the Wunderlick, IQ, SAT, ACT, etc.
