In Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales , various performance levels are shown along a scale and described in terms of an employee's specific job behavior. In evaluating a group of employees working as interviewers, for example, suppose factor chosen for evaluation is Ability to Absorb and Interpret Policies. On the very positive end of this factor might be, "This interviewer could be expected to serve as an information source concerning new and changed policies for others in the organization." On the very negative end of this factor might be, "Even after repeated explanations, this interviewer would be unable to understand new procedures." There might be several levels in between the very negative and very positive level.
