Examplify of Forced-choice Method

Question

Explain by giving an example of Forced-choice Method?

Answer 1

For example, a rater may be given the following two statements:

(i) The employee is hard working.

(ii) The worker provides a clear directives to his subordinates.

Though both of them describe the characteristics of a worker, the rater is mandatory to tick only one which appears to be more descriptive of the worker. Among these two statements, simply one statement is measured for final analysis of rating.

For example, a rater may be given the following two statements:

(i) The employee is very sincere.

(ii) Employee gives clear and fast instructions to his subordinates.

Both of the above statements are positive but the rater is supposed to rate only one which is more appropriate of subordinate’s behaviour. For ranking only one statement is considered .As the rater is not aware about the statement to be considered the result would be free from bias. This method may be more objective but it involves lot of problems in framing of such sets of statements.
