Abstract

Our world is, first and foremost, a world of other persons. For most individuals, success is based on ability to successfully interact with other individuals, to convey and receive information. The salesman’s ability to assess a potential client, an advertiser’s sensitivity to consumers, a judge’s ability to evaluate an individual’s guilt, a suitor’s ability to determine receptivity, and a psychologist’s ability to infer parental fitness are all examples of the importance of assessment. Assessment is the process by which we acquire information about other individuals.
