Abstract
When descriptions of engineering products were deliberately altered, supervisors responded positively to increases in the additional contributions reported. The marked spread of scores occurring when all judges rated the same nonmanipulated product is only in part due to the moderate test-retest reliability of the judgments. Differing criteria systems and even differing perceptions of the kind of achievement (e.g., novel versus conventional) were also involved.
