Example text
But what if real work performance is something much richer than anything that a mere list of discrete atoms can capture? The notion of discrete unit-by-unit mastery of skills and understanding omits the crucial need for an overall grasp of the whole. Rather than unit-by-unit acquisition of independent skills, a better image to represent the gaining of high level proficiency in an occupation might be something like the ‘gradual clearing of a fog in a landscape’. This image captures the idea of the increasingly proficient performer gaining a growing appreciation of the relationships between various skills and of their significance for the whole.
Whereas what actually might be occurring here is the lazy use of language. This possibility becomes more than likely when the putative entities that are supposed to be pretty much alike turn out, on closer inspection, to be significantly diverse, abstract and elusive, encompassing such varied ‘things’ as skill components, attitudes, values and dispositions. However, and importantly, this is not the only misconception about generic attributes that arises from taking them at the face value suggested by common sense.
Thus when we make inferences about a person’s attributes (capabilities, abilities, and skills) on the basis of performance, such attributions always involve assumptions about the nature of these capacities. The nature of the capabilities, abilities, and skills involved in performances of various kinds are typically contested, as also is the best way to develop such capabilities, abilities, and skills. We have seen in this section that there are various seductive conceptual confusions about generic attributes that need to be guarded against.
