Judgement under uncertainty

Weighs the possible explanations when data are missing or conflicting and reaches a reasoned judgement while stating the remaining uncertainty.

How hrmforce measures this

Scenario with response options, scored on knowledge or behavioural tendency.

This is a selection criterion, not a short-term development goal. Do not put a three-month development plan on it.

Level	Behaviour at this level
N1 Guided	Indicates which data are missing when in doubt and proposes a provisional judgement to the manager. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient	Forms a judgement on incomplete files, names the assumptions used and states which new fact would change that judgement. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading	Judges in situations of high uncertainty and opposing interests, accounts for this publicly and revises the judgement on new evidence. 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.

These skills inherit the assessment route and the behavioural anchors of this construct.
