Q20. Which of the following measurement methods rates employee performance

relative to other employees?

A. Graphic rating scale

B. Comparative method

C. Essay method

D. Critical incident method

Answer 1

Since we're talking about rating employees relative to other employees, I'd say that sounds like a "comparative" method (B).

All the other answers sound like "absolute" measurements -- putting people on a rating scale of some sort (A), writing an essay (C), or looking at notable events (D).

It depends on the terminology of the text you're using, however.  You may want to consult the glossary or table of contents.
