What are some of the reasons for the relative superiority of the mechanical prediction strategies?

What will be an ideal response?


First, accuracy of prediction may depend on appropriate weighting of predictors (which is virtually impossible to judge accurately). Second, mechanical methods can continue to incorporate additional evidence on candidates and thereby improve predictive accuracy. However, an interviewer is likely to reach a plateau beyond which he or she will be unable to continue to make modifications in judgments as new evidence accumulates. Finally, in contrast to more objective methods, an interviewer or judge needs to guard against his own needs, response set, and wishes, lest they contaminate the accuracy of his subjective combination of information about the applicant.
