The dimension of standard exhibits different properties that characterize it as an abstract entity, and one that allows for a multitude of interpretive forms. The values associated with the dimension of standard can be attributed to different understandings and significance. The key takeaway from this article is the understanding that the dimension of standard is less about measuring something, but more about what it represents, specifically how its values are interpreted.
What is the Dimension of Standard?
Dimension of standard is a term that refers to a set of attributes that are considered as inherent values, and are specific to an individual. An individual (a person) can possess one or multiple dimensions of standard. Dimensions of standard can be conceptualized as flexible values that are provided for the individual by the individual’s social environment. The value assigned to an individual is based on the feedback from other people in that person’s social environment. A dimension of standard is associated with some specific values, and the values associated with a particular dimension of standard are established through an interaction between you and others in your social environment. The interaction may involve feedback, guidance, and instruction from others in your social environment.
Dimensions of standards are associated with different kinds of values that are not necessarily relevant to the “raw data” (such as height, weight, hair color), but rather more subjective or interpretive (such as intelligence, kindness, attractiveness) . Generally speaking a dimension possesses multiple values that represent something that is unique about you relative to your peers or other individuals in your social environment.
Properties of Dimension of Standard:
Dimensions of standard are associated with properties that are different from the properties of raw data (e.g., the value associated with height). Therefore, dimensions of standard can be described as a combination of the properties of raw data and some property that is specific to dimensions of standard. The key property that dimensions of standard possess that differs from raw data is unique through its association with subjective values (or personal qualities). Therefore, dimensions of standard possess a degree of uniqueness. Dimensionally speaking one dimension may be more involved than others, but they are all related to one another.
Interpretive Form:
Dimensions of standard represent something within an individual’s social environment (i.e. an individual’s specific qualities that are unique compared to others). Therefore, dimensions of standard are abstract in nature. A dimension of standard exists at the intersection between you and others. The presence and/or absence of each dimension of standard is interpreted differently by different people in your social environment. Each dimension represents something other than just raw data (e.g., a person’s height), therefore dimensions possess their own unique properties that are not necessarily associated with raw data (e.g., intelligence, kindness, attractiveness, etc) .
Significance of Dimension of Standard:
The significance of a dimension of standard is associated with its interpretation (e.g., the value associated with kindness). Specifically, the values associated with a dimension are interpreted differently by different people. Therefore, to some people intelligence may be a significant value, while to others it may mean nothing. The value associated with one’s kindness may mean something to someone else (i.e. that person is loving), but it doesn’t necessarily have much meaning for you at all (I am kind because I treat everyone the same or I help others whenever I can). As an abstract entity, dimensions of standard possess their own intrinsic and extrinsic significance to an individual which is determined by the individual’s social environment.
Dimension of standard supports the concept of multiple intelligences:
Dimension of standard supports the idea that many intelligences are associated with different dimensions. For example, intelligence can be associated with different dimensions depending on who you are and what you do (e.g., an individual with clinical A.D.H.D may be more intelligent than someone without). However, each dimension is uniquely associated with a particular type of intelligence (e.g., intelligence to understand your own emotions, another person’s emotional intelligence).
Uses of Dimension of Standard:
Dimensions of standard can be used to describe the state of an organization, situation, or person. Dimensions of standards are visualized to facilitate the understanding and interpretation of other people’s perspectives as well as drawing conclusions about what is happening within your social environment. The use of dimensionality in this context is considered a theory post-positivist and is associated with a diagrammatic process that allows for analysis through data.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, my definition of dimension of standard is as follows: An individual possesses dimensions of standard that are unique through the association with their own personal qualities which are interpreted differently by other people in your social environment. A dimension is a set of attributes that are associated with an individual’s physical qualities (e.g., height, weight, hair color), and can also possess values that are not necessarily related to raw data (“intelligence” as an attribute may represent something else). Dimension of standard has properties that allow for the understanding and interpretation of others’ perspectives on different aspects of you. Each dimension possesses its own distinct significance called importance to you, which is determined by your social environment.
