Biodata and structured experience questions, empirically keyed against performance criteria.

Behavioural anchors

LevelBehaviour at this level
N1 Guided Names with the help of a questionnaire or conversation which three work values weigh most heavily in own work.
works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient Sets own work values against a concrete role, names where they clash and discusses that with the manager with arguments.
sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading Makes work values discussable throughout the organisation and uses them when shaping roles and selection criteria.
sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession

N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.
