Practice Scoring the WSA

What score would you give to the following answer?

Sample Position Task - Answer #2:

The opinion of the majority is not the final proof of what is right.

I accept this statement. Each person has a different opinion about a story, a joke, or a poem. Essentially no one has the same opinion. Opinions never wrong or right. You are the one who can decide whether the opinion is strong or not. For instance, if you are a boss of a company, what do you do to perform others to work well in your company. You have to listen to their opinions, but sometimes you have to share your opinion with them. You may accept their opinions or you may not accept their opinions. The final decision may decide by you or your employees. Opinion is a key strategy to the future success to your firm. This exercise is to identify your key employees and create a development plan for them. Moreover, you need to make a shift and learn how to support them by sharing the majority opinions, but the opinion of the majority is not the final proof of what is right. You must understand that successful companies don’t limit development to their key employees, and use opinion as a tool to recruiting and retaining the best employees in all categories. So opinion should be share with each other and feel free to have your opinion all the time. You should remember that opinion never right or wrong.
