Could you please clarify about "cultural match"? Provided that the person is good and kind, but e.g. likes different music genres, or thinks that hunting is like a killing a human (while some existing teammate is hunter), would you consider this case as a cultural mismatch?

Although this is more of a personal thing I would never judge people based on their musical preference (that's what headphones are for ;-)) and hobbies. Cultural is - for me - a combination of drive (yes, one of the other factors) and the ability to work with others without driving them to tears. That and a flexible sense of humour ;-)
