There’s many things to consider when we’re making a decision that relates to people - whether we’re hiring someone for our company, deciding on a contractor for a particular job, or choosing between candidates for elected office.

All of these are important indicators of the individual’s ability to be successful in the role and it makes sense that we be diligent in evaluating these factors.
