When appraisers rate other people based on their own qualities or characteristics, they are making a similarity error.

The other answer choices are not applicable to this scenario. A low leniency error refers to a rater consistently giving low ratings, halo error refers to a rater allowing one aspect of a person's performance to influence the rating for all other aspects, central tendency error refers to a rater consistently giving average ratings, and graphic rating refers to a method of performance appraisal using a scale with different levels or categories.
