Reflecting on own thinking errors

Examines afterwards how own assumptions, preferences and rules of thumb steered a judgement and adjusts the own way of working.

How hrmforce measures this

Behaviour-based interview with fixed questions and a rating scale per question.

Level	Behaviour at this level
N1 Guided	States after feedback which assumption was wrong and what will go differently in the approach next time. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient	Analyses an own mistake for thinking steps, names the bias that played a part and arranges counterargument for next judgements. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading	Makes discussing thinking errors normal in the organisation, shares own miscalculations and builds counterargument into decision making. 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.
