You cannot measure qualities like that. So it becomes subjective based on by whom they are measured.

- kqr 5y agoAccording to Kahneman you can: ask standardised questions about experiences in a person's past that are indicative of these qualities, rate on a numeric scale, and aggregate. This is a much more stable measure than just ad hocing it.

- kqr 5y agoI never said it was perfect! Only better than the alternative, which is also affected by the problems you mention.
- falcor84 5y agoEven assuming the candidate isn't lying, this approach relies on great episodic memory, introspection and eloquence; qualities almost entirely unrelated to those you're actually looking for.
- kqr 5y agoSure. Any evaluation that involves interviewing a candidate is going to rely at least on "great introspection and eloquence". Apparently enough people have great episodic memory too. Note that we're talking about Kahneman here. He actually went out and did this in real-world setting and measured the effect. It works. It's not just speculation.
