and other inferences made by the observer,,
There is also the necessity of accurate recall and
a minimum of interpretation by the participants recording
the data. Ralph Vagner utilized the technique in developing
an evaluation procedure for U«>S« Air Force officers. He
discusses the advantages and how care must be exercised to
obtain adequate results. He says (38;25):
The Critical Incident Technique capitalizes on the
advantage of behavior description of job requirement.
But this advantage alone would not make the technique
unique or circumvent certain other difficulties connected
with the determination of job requirements.
Summary— (1) Broad, ambiguous, and ill-defined terms
are avoided by stating requirements purely in terms
of what the individual must be able to do to be successful.
(2) Objective evidence exists to support
the critical nature of each requirement and a complete
and exhaustive list can be obtained. (3) Basic data
are provided which may be analyzed repeatedly to
verify the underlying psychological traits found in
original interpretations. (4) Stereotypical and unfounded
lists of traits and characteristics are
avoided. (5) Occupations not easily tried or observed
personally by the psychologist can be studied
by using the participant himself as an observer.
(6) The method must be properly applied to be effective.
(7) Descriptions must be confined to the behavioral
level and avoid a natural tendency to interpret
and evaluate. (8) Care must be used to describe
the most recent incident and not a particularly unusual
and a typical one.
Superintendent's Role as a Leader
