Pure Judgmental Approach

Both the data collection and the final decision are based on human impressions. No numbers or formulas are used.

Profile Interpretation

You collect objective, statistical data, but then a human looks at those numbers and makes a judgmental decision based on their 'gut.'

Trait Rating Approach

You collect judgmental data (like interviews or 'gut feelings'), but you turn them into scores and use a statistical formula to make the final decision.

Judgmental Composite

You have both statistical data (test scores) and judgmental data (interviews), but the final decision is made by a human looking at all of it and forming an 'overall impression.'

Statistical Composite

You have both statistical and judgmental data, and you feed all of it into a mathematical formula (like a regression equation) to get a final score.

Pure Statistical Approach

Only objective data is collected, and only a mathematical formula is used to decide. No interviews or 'gut feelings' are involved at all.
