BARS combines the benefits of narratives, critical incidents, and quantified scales by assigning scale points with specific examples of good or poor performance. It does not require progress made toward measurable goals, keeping a log of positive and negative examples of a subordinate's work-related behavior, or assigning predetermined percentages of those being rated into performance categories.
