Friendly +8 Good listener +5 Financially responsible +9 Additive Model: +22 Averaging Model: +7.3 Next, we incorporate a new piece of information: Intelligent +3 Additive Model: +25 Averaging Model: 6.25 In the additive model, any new piece of positive information improves our overall assessment. In the averaging model a weak, positive piece of new information might lower our overall assessment.
