In most cases, panel-based review sessions are inadvisable, since the assessee may regard the experience as inquisitorial rather than remedial and constructive.
In turn, the assessee is assumed to be motivated to improve their performance by being made aware of their assessed weaknesses.
However, because centre-based assessment is labour-intensive, expensive and time-consuming, and can accommodate only a small number of assessees at a time, it is still targeted primarily at managers and professionals.
The method forces the assessor to choose one behavioural statement from two carefully paired statements by identifying the statement that more accurately describes the assessee's behaviour.
Assessors and assessees may also be uncertain as to what exactly is being assessed: behaviour, values, attitudes, personality traits or other factors of a still more abstract nature.
There is nothing to indicate that either assessors or assessees have received prior training in system content, nor that system purpose has been communicated to stakeholders in advance.
However, this overlooks the possibility that outlier ratings may occasionally reflect an assessee's performance quite accurately from the assessor's particular vantage point.
Additionally, where the assessment is undertaken by an external agent, assessees may doubt the agent's competence to undertake a valid and reliable assessment.
