During the annual performance appraisal, Jill’s supervisor gives her a "9" on a scale of "1" to "10" for all the assessment items. Jill’s colleagues, however, are aware that Jill’s efficiency was more like a "6" on the "1-to-10" scale even though her work quality was a "9." Which of the following biases has been exhibited by Jill’s supervisor in this instance?
A) The Hawthorne effectB) The halo effectC) Interviewer's illusionD) Stereotyping

B) The halo effect.

Explanation:

The biased that has been exhibited by Jill's supervisor is the halo effect. The supervisor decided that Jill's efficiency was good because he judged him by one trait that he liked about Jill, but that was not related to Jill's performance at work.
