Under this system, the rater considers certain features and marks them according to the scale. Certain categories of worth are carefully established and defined. The selected features may be analytical ability, cooperativeness, dependability, self experience, job knowledge, judgement, leadership and organising ability, etc. These may be rated: (a) outstanding, {b) very good, (c) good/average, (d) fair,
(e) poor or any other scale The actual performance of an employee is then compared with these grade definitions and he is allotted the grade which best describes his performance.
