    Perceptual errors refer to the inability to judge humans, things, or situations fairly and accurately due to biases like prejudice and stereotyping. Perceptual errors strongly impact organizations by hampering proper decision making in tasks like hiring and performance reviews. There are several common types of perceptual errors, such as selective perception where people interpret things based on their own interests; halo effect where one trait influences judgment of others; and stereotypes where people overgeneralize others into groups. To reduce perceptual errors, it is important to avoid quick judgments, collect more complete information, and remain aware of common cognitive biases.

    OTHER PERCEPTUAL ERROR

    A perceptual error is the inability to judge humans, things or situations fairly and accurately. Examples
    could include such things as bias, prejudice, stereotyping, which have always caused human beings to
    err in different aspects of their lives.

    Perceptual error has strong impact in organisation and it hampers in proper decision making skill while
    hiring,performance appraisal,review,feedback etc

    There are many types of perceptual errors in workplace

    1.Selective Perception-People generally interpret according to their basis of interests,idea and


    backgrounds.It is the tendency not to notice and forget the stimuli that cause emotional discomfort.For
    example we might think that fresher graduates with above 80 % marks will exceptionally do well in
    technical interviews of respective subjects

    2.Halo Effect-We misjudge people by concentrating on one single behavior or trait.It has deep impact
    and give inaccurate result most of the time.For example we always have an impression of a lazy person
    can never be punctual in any occasion.

    3.Stereotypes-We always have a tendency to classify people to a general groups /categories in order to
    simplify the matter.For example-Women are always good homemakers and can do well in work life
    balance

    4.Contrast Effect-We again sometimes judge people in comparison to others . This example generally
    found in sports,academics and performance review
    5.Projection-This is very common among Perceptual errors.Projection of one's own attitude,personality
    or behavior into some other person.For example- To all honest people,everybody is honest.

    INSIGHTS

    perceptual errors can disrupt the efficient decision-making capabilities of individuals. Inability to judge
    fairly and inaccurately to humans, things ir situation is because of not collecting enough information
    about it. Other perceptual error still exists today, and there's a things to do to avoid it and it is to take
    more time and to avoid instant judgement to others, collect more information about the others etc.
