Intangibles are qualities in an individual or group of individuals, especially those organized in an official group (e.g. a sports team or office) which affect performance but are not directly measurable. They are often cited as a reason for performance which is surprisingly better or worse than expected. For example, no particular player on a sports team might be seen as a standout player, but as a group they might be able to defeat teams who are seen as superior in skill. Intangibles are often broken down into categories of abstract nouns including ability to work as a team, dedication and effort, and so on. In the business world these are commonly referred to as intangible assets.
