Abstract
This study examined the relationship between assessor personality and assessment center rating leniency. Middle and upper management assesso rs took the 16PF and their ratings of assessment center candidates wer e examined in relation to their own personality profiles. intelligence , Sensitivity and Tough Poise were significantly related to leniency i n assessment center ratings. The results suggest that tenderminded, wa rmhearted assessors tend to give more elevated ratings. Agreeable pers onality characteristics may also be related to lenient assessment cent er ratings.
