The LAB Profile is based on cognitive science. It originated from research "metaprograms" done by a group of people who formed the International Training Center for NLP when it was based in San Francisco (around 1978). This group included Leslie Cameron, Brian van der Horst and some of the institute's students: Ross Steward and Rodger Bailey.
In 1982, Ross M. Steward and Rodger C. Bailey started to commercialize the metaprogram model under the name IPU Profile through their company Biodata Inc. According to an article of that period published in the Dallas Magazine in December 1983, Ross Steward was "vice president for product development at BioData and the PhD behind the test". One of their first customers was Southwest Airlines, which started to use the LAB Profile technology in October 1982 for all its recruiting, from V.P.'s to baggage handlers. Herb Kelleher, Southwest Airlines' CEO till 2001, was featured on the early advertising for the product.
