This study draws attention to the very real possibility that supervisors' assessments are not as reliable or valid as professional psychology assumes. The study examines end-placement reports accrued over a 12-year period from 130 supervisors who rated performance in 291 field placements completed by 131 clinical psychology trainees. It is likely that supervisor ratings are affected by a leniency bias. Further, earlier placement ratings are poor predictors of subsequent placement ratings by different supervisors. Ratings on the 11 broad performance dimensions yield a single clinical skills factor within which items congregated into two clusters: Assessment and Intervention; and Interpersonal and Professional skills. Factors that contribute to supervisor bias and strategies to reduce bias and to enhance the value of supervisor ratings are discussed.
