Discuss the two common methods of ranking.
What will be an ideal response?
The two common ways of ranking are alternation ranking and paired comparison. Alternation ranking orders job descriptions alternately at each extreme. Agreement is reached among evaluators on which jobs are the most and least valuable, then the next most and least valued, and so on, until all the jobs have been ordered. The paired comparison method uses a matrix to compare all possible pairs of jobs. When all comparisons have been completed, the job most frequently judged "more valuable" becomes the highest-ranked job, and so on.
