When an INDIVIDUAL is Low on: Extroversion / Introversion Agreeableness (amicability, cordiality) Conscientiousness (carefulness, precision) Emotional Stability Flexibility
Stereotyping: a belief or image held by a group of people, based upon insufficient evidence or knowledge. Suppose: Gul Pandit hails from a small village in the Jammu District and as her professional record testifies, she is hard working and dynamic. Hari Tiwari, who has born and brought up in Delhi, always thinks that he knows better than her, and this combination of gender and regional stereotyping has disastrous consequences for their day to day communication.

Assuming the person’s characteristics on the basis of their own characteristics.
Suppose: When a owner assumes that his subordinates should also give in the same quantity and quality of efforts in his organisation then this can be termed as Projection Error.
Halo Effect:
Making belief based on one characteristics rather than analysing the whole character.
Suppose: If a manager sees his one of the subordinate donating money to an old beggar and assumes him to be generous and helpful in nature, then this belief or assumption can be said as Halo Effect.

Based on one’s comparison to other not to the parameter.
Suppose: A Finance Manager of a company who is working for last 10years in Finance Industry assumes same kind of expertise in forecasting the share markets from his subordinates who are not so experienced as he is, then this kind of assumption is called Contrast Effect.
