Abstract
Abstract A frequent finding from studies in the area of inspection is the large individual differences in inspection performance, a factor that has contributed to both undermining the development of valid selection tests and complicating the training process for inspectors. In a study designed to discover cognitive factors that can potentially account for a large part of these differences, a fuzzy set approach formulated as a multi-criteria decision-making problem was utilized in order to determine whether individuals can prioritize cognitive skills considered important for inspection performance. Results indicated a close correspondence between fuzzy set and statistical approaches, suggesting the possibility for integrating the individual's subjective appraisal of the relative importance of cognitive factors into the design, selection, and training process for inspection tasks.
