JAN: A TECHNIQUE FOR ANALYZING GROUP JUDGMENT

Abstract

This paper indicates how a technique which clusters criteria in terms of the homogeneity of their prediction equations can be used to identify and describe the rating policies within a group or board of judges. The technique measures the consistency of ratings obtained from individual judges, and indicates the amount and nature of agreement between judges or groups of judges. A practical method is suggested for helping a board or committee to reach a consensus concerning how relevant factors shall be weighted in future situations so as to carry out its final joint policy. Examples are given to show how the technique can be used to determine the composition of a service school selection, to determine factor weights for a job evaluation plan, and to determine how relevant factors should be combined into a job-oriented criterion composite.
