A PROCEDURE FOR ESTIMATING SUBJECTIVE SIM ILARITIES OF RATING DIMENSIONS

With the usage of given dimensions to assess a persons' behavior, e. g . during personnel selection processes, discrepancies between the cons tructor's intended and the user's actual handling of the dimensions mi ght occur. With the application of these dimensions correlations or si milarities between the performance appraisal dimensions other than tho se originally intended by the developers are ''constructed''. A proced ure which can easily be administered to measure the perception of simi larities of the raters with regards to the given assessment dimensions is presented here.
