Idiosyncratic rater bias

Do you know that?

Can you just convince everyone of yourself? If a talent appears more introverted and secretive during a job interview, this is particularly noticeable to you. After all, everyone needs an open approach to people!

What is the reason for that?

This is due to the Idiosyncratic rater bias

This bias influences our evaluation of performance based on personal standards of success or failure. In other words: We are generally unreliable when it comes to evaluating other people.

Studies also show this: For example 60% of a manager's rating reflects the manager himself rather than the talent she is evaluating. A manager who has excellent marketing skills, for example, places higher demands on this skill and assesses team members more rigorously for this skill.
