Rater Errors

This document discusses various types of rater errors that can occur during performance appraisals. There are six main types of rater errors: leniency/strictness error, halo error, central tendency error, similar-to-me error, recency error, and personal bias. These errors reflect consistent biases by raters and can be reduced through frame-of-reference training to help raters provide more accurate evaluations of employee performance.
