Comparing the Borich model with the Ranked Discrepancy Model for competency assessment: A novel approach

In 1980, Borich presented a new model that allowed errors in an individual’s judgment of self-proficiency to be offset by considering the perception of a group. The model relied upon the calculation of means for competency items measured with ordinal scales, an approach subject to debate in modern...
