The most common form that the attribute approach to performance management takes is the graphic rating scale. The manager considers one employee at a time, circling the number that signifies how much of that trait the individual has. Graphic rating scales can provide a number of different points (a discrete scale)or a continuum along which the rater simply places a check mark (a continuous scale).
