Thank you –Very good thoughts. Unfortunately not everyone gets this. To take it a step further you should weight the factors.
So e.g. if coding matters more than coaching, the distance should weight more into the decision.
But I assume you just left that put for the sake of clarity!
Check again:
Further down I even explain how to do it with this calculator:
Search for "weight" to find them.
Thanks for your comments. I absolutely agree with you that we should weight our axes. I'm currently working on an improvement to the calculator that would let users set a desired range (while keeping the min and max for weighting purposes). And maybe even let them adjust the degree of non-linearity or apply it only in one direction (e.g., scores below the desired).
But the key, even if you don't use the calculator, is to understand that there are many axes upon which to evaluate skills, attitudes, progress, etc. and that trying to flatten everything into a line or plane is very bad. It makes you believe that you understand something when really you don't.
The calculator just lets you "visualize" distance when the number of axes is more than three.
Thanks also for helping me to find a typo. Sneaky things, those typos. No matter how carefully you hunt them out, one or two always manage to escape.
