Man-to-Man Comparison, a performance evaluation criteria was used first by US Army during World War-1. In this method, certain personality factors such as leadership, initiative, dependability, and soon, arc selected for purposes of analysis. A scale is developed for each factor. Instead of comparing a man It) another, personnel are compared to key men, one factor at a time. Thus, a scale of men is created for each selected factor. This system of measurement is utilised today in job evaluation being known as the 'factor comparison' system. Though, it is highly useful in measuring job, it has very limited use in measuring people.
