MRA / 360 Degree Feedback System — Dual Scale Surveys
Concept of Gap Size An important step in benefiting from the 360 degree feedback is understanding the concept of Gap Size. Gap Size is the numeric difference between how often a behavior occurs and how often the behavior is expected or needed. It is the difference between what the person believes is occurring now and what is needed or expected. Calculating and Interpreting Gap Size To help evaluate the effectiveness of the individual's current practices, a measurement called Gap Size was created. Gap Size is the numeric difference between how often a behavior occurs (Question 1) and how often the behavior is expected or needed (Question 2). Interpreting the Feedback Report The person's Confidential Feedback Report focuses on the Gap Sizes that resulted from the way people answered the two questions. Gap Size Gap Size is the difference between what a person believes is occurring now and what is needed or expected. The results are separated on the report to show: — The results for each behavior based on the surveys completed by the person/Self and the person's manager/Boss. — The results for each group that answered surveys; i.e., direct reports; peers; co-workers; team members; others; etc If the "Self" or the "Boss" responses produced a reversal, the size of the reversal (see right column on the graphic above) is shown in the Gap Size Distribution table.
