Teamwork. Screen for this by asking people for examples when they have been wrong / how they handled it, what is the best idea that a coworker came up with, or a specific example when they helped someone else succeed at work. The most painful hiring mistakes I have made were brilliant people who lived in dire fear of being wrong, sought to hide facts that could disprove their positions, and made embarassingly destructive efforts to undermine others. If you ever do hire such a person, no matter how critical they may seem, you will be amazed at the productivity and mood improvement when they depart.
