Criteria-Based Assessments

Criteria-Based Assessments evaluate a person's performance or skills against a set of predefined standards or criteria. Instead of comparing individuals to each other, they focus on measuring how well someone meets specific requirements or expectations. For example, a job applicant might be assessed based on skills, experience, and qualities outlined in the job description. This approach ensures fairness, objectivity, and clarity, helping to identify strengths and areas for improvement based on consistent standards. It is commonly used in education, employment, and professional development to make transparent, justified evaluations.
