Measuring job performance is hard. A good analogy is measuring intelligence. The IQ test is clearly bullshit (it does not come close to reflecting the complexity and high dimensionality of human intelligence). That said, it's a useful research tool. Across a large number of people in aggregate, it can be used to learn things (like that leaded gas was a really bad idea). We'll be doing the same sort of (very imperfect) measurement of job performance.

- acbart 11y agoI'll be very interested in hearing what your measures are, and how you'll account for things like employees being in a bad environment/having bad bosses. It's a complicated thing to measure. Are you guys planning on publishing any of this material in a journal or research venue, or will you keep the results to blog posts?
