Quizplus · Accepted Answer

D)For those for whom accuracy is a great concern, BARS are superior, but require much more time to develop and use. The integration of critical incidents helps a supervisor explain ratings to appraisees. Graphic rating scales and alternation rankings do not include critical incidents, while the critical incident method includes examples without rankings.
