Abstract: The present study examined the effects of rating scale format on merit ratings secured with Blanz and Ghiselll's (1972) mixed standard rating system. The study had a dual purpose: 1) to discover whether rater training and controls for faulty item construction could eliminate halo and leniency errors from ratings secured with mixed standard rating scales, and 2) to compare the amount of halo and leniency error in merit ratings obtained with rating scales which were arranged in mixed vs. unmixed formats. Two rating forms were developed and used to measure the Job proficiency of first-line production supervisors in a large textile corporation. Both rating forms were comprised of the same set of behaviorally based statements which pertained to all important aspects of a first-line supervisor's job. On one rating form (Form A), rating scales were arranged in Blanz and Ghiselli’s (1972) mixed standard format. On the other rating form (Form B), rating scales were arranged in a more conventional format.
