Differences between the perceptions of self-raters and other observers
are often found on 360-degree feedback instruments. This article repo
rts on the nature of these self-observer differences. Specifically, se
lf-observer discrepancies were found to be stable over time. In additi
on, discrepancies on skill-based multirater instruments were related t
o discrepancies on personality-based multirater instruments. This sugg
ests that accuracy in self-perception is a stable individual differenc
e. The implications for job performance and personality assessment are
discussed. (C) 1993 by John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
