Behavioral Anchoring: the method of self-assessment that evaluates what you have actually done rather than what you believe about yourself, measuring observable behavior patterns rather than narratives or self-perceptions
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes behavioral anchoring as a specific assessment technique by identifying its genus (method of self-assessment), its differentia (evaluating what you have done rather than what you believe), and its functional boundary (measuring observable behavior rather than narratives). It distinguishes this from belief-based assessment and clearly defines the operational characteristics that make it different.
