RATE YOURSELF: POINT EVALUATION
Count up your points. Where do you stand as an interviewer? Evaluate
your total points as follows, using the Interview Ability Rating Point
System:
• 176–250 points: savvy interviewer
You’ve got the idea. Now use your technique to prepare for your next
interview. Apply your own key factors and rating system to find the
right person for the job.

• 100–175 points: above-average interviewer
Being aware of what you are looking for and what the key factors of the
job are will greatly increase your savvy. Preparing the answers before
the interview will also give you the increased knowledge you will need
to judge this candidate against the other candidates.

• Below 100 points: average interviewer
This does not mean that you are a bad interviewer, but it could indicate
that you need to think more about the process before you begin to select
people without first having a plan. Some analysis of what you need on
various levels will help you form your wish list or requirements for the
job. This will aid you significantly in selecting people who are well
suited to the job in all areas.
