28. According to Willihnganz & Langan. "(i)t is important to select SMEs who are either (1) fully knowledgeable of the job classification being rated or (2) incumbents or supervisors of the class if it is a relatively small class of positions. It is important to emphasize to the SMEs that they should base their ratings on the typical or average position in the classification not just the position they occupy or supervise." p. 32.
