What type of evaluator are you?

Just powdered on this quiz again, so interesting! it makes you to realize who you are and where you function.

Well, it depends on where you find yourself, need and solution at hand.

It made me to gathered myself.

Thanks.

Thank you for the quiz. It seems I am pragmatic.  

It was also fun to read other colleagues findings 

Thank you for this quizz. It may not be the best questionnaire as Ada pointed out. However, answering this quizz believe, is an opportunity to reflect on who we are or think we are, as Evaluators. I came out as a mediator and I am now wondering what this means😊

I’d like to meet the activists … what do you guys do that is different from what I’m doing ? 🤔🤔

Thanks Renata! Good one ! 

Dear all,

Thanks for taking the quiz and for your feedback!

Among over 500 responses received so far, most evaluators emerge as Mediators (44%), followed by Pragmatists (32%). Activists and scientist both represent 12% of respondents.

With this quiz we wanted to spark reflection on different paradigms evaluators can have, and how these may influence the choice of methods and approaches. Of course, evaluators may apply different paradigms depending on the situation and one paradigm does not exclude others.

The quiz is still open and we look forward to continue the conversation.

I was judged as pragmatist, which I beleive an entry point for a sound evaluation for all evaluators. Yet the highest percentage/contribution is for the "mediation" aspect, which is also logical, since the evaluator should not only be impartial, but also trying to bring together all stakeholders for the sake of a better evaluation and future sound decsion making and advocacy for sustainable development.

Very correct. I am judged to be a mediator.

Hiya and thanks. I am judged to be an activist, although I've never believed in unity: it's not an illusion worth having. Only division brings progress.....

Thanks for the valuable quiz. Based on my answers, it identified exactly the way I am in my professional career, playing a role of mediator to bring about shared consensus among different stakeholders or contributing partners. Thanks again for this refreshing quiz!!!

Interesting quiz!

Many thanks for all your excellent remarks and comments in this forum!

Very smart quiz that willl help us keep in mind the other types of evaluators with which we may collaborate! Thank you!

A refreshing quiz, it looks like I am one of the activist kind of evaluators :-) 

Excellent question in this regard in the complex field of Evaluator, in this sense I can personally come to feel as the complement of a necessary tool that comes to assimilate and analyze a complex task of Diagnosis, a task of Characterization, Socialization, Training and Analysis of the Systematization of Information that forces to perform the role of Mediator in the different pillars offered by the Evaluation Methods, Evaluation Processes and finally the Monitoring and evaluation as such. Now this task, feeds and strengthens the epicenter of a discussion forum that achieves with the different concepts and knowledge to consolidate a common goal in the professional discussion.

Thank you for the good quiz. It has rated me well. Allow me to add a point to make it even better. Some questions cannot only have one answer and therefore there is need to put check boxes for multiple answers as opposed to the circle.

Questions like the ones below need multiple answers

...the right type of Eval...

Which indicator should I use....

If the evidence is not useful, it is because....

In order to contribute to better and useful Evaluation.....

We learn something about ourselves, everyday! Thank you for this fun survey. I think we walk into evaluation spaces wearing the scarf and that we need for the task, but there is always that part of self-awareness that defines your core values that does not shake off, no matter the TORs! Have a great week

Nice quiz , sometimes more than one answer is right. I think it depends on the situation and many other things to define the role of the evaluator. I believe that the evaluator doesn't have only one profile.

What a fun quiz! Good to have a balance of different evaluation styles. I'm a mediator!

Interesting but needs some revision. I was forced to mark the least worst answer according to my view as in some cases I did not find the right answer.  

The overall conclusion can also be improved.

Thanks for the efforts
