The Observer Version

Answer the same 25 statements about someone else, then put your view next to theirs. The gap between the two is the most useful thing either of you will read.

Self-report has one well-known weakness. You answer about the person you believe you are, and on the traits where you are least accurate, you are also least able to notice that you are being inaccurate. Someone who works beside you does not have that problem. They have a different one, which is that they only see you in certain situations. Put the two views together and each covers the other's gap.

This page is the observer half. You answer about someone else, in the third person, using the same items they answered about themselves. Then you paste their result code and the two readings sit side by side.

How to do this well

This is not a performance review. Do not use this page to appraise, rank, hire, promote, or make any other decision about another person. It is for two people who have agreed to compare notes.
