Description
Summary:When officers in grades Second Lieutenant through Colonel were asked to estimate percentages of officers represented in each of the ten rating boxes of the overall evaluation on the Officer Effectiveness Report (OER), accuracy of estimation of actual OER distributions varied as a function of (a) the grade of the rater, (b) the grade being estimated, (c) interaction between rater's grade and the grade being estimated, and (d) other characteristics of rater, particularly duty assignment. Although most officers appeared to be aware of inflation in OERs, the extent of this problem was not fully realized. (Author)
