The behaviorally anchored rating scale (BARS) combines the benefits of narrative critical incidents and quantified scales by assigning scale points with specific examples of good or poor performance. BARS is considered a more accurate performance appraisal method than a graphic rating scale or forced distribution because it focuses on specific behaviors and uses detailed examples to support each rating.
