Rating scales involve qualitative descriptions of limited aspects of things or traits of people. They are subject to halo effects where judgments in one area influence others, and raters tend to be too generous. Scorecards are commonly used to evaluate communities, buildings, schools, and textbooks by rating multiple aspects on a scale. One early scaled specimen was a handwriting scale developed by Thorndike to evaluate writing samples.
