Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ratings of performance are generally more objective and measurable compared to ratings of attitudes, personality characteristics, or adjustment. Performance can be measured using specific criteria such as productivity, accuracy, or outcomes, and can be validated through observations, records, and other sources of data. Attitudes, personality characteristics, and adjustment, on the other hand, can be subjective and influenced by personal biases and perceptions. Therefore, ratings of performance are likely to be more reliable than other types of ratings.
