Command words

What Do CIPD Command Words Ask You to Do?

Quick answer: The command word sets the depth. Describe asks what something is. Explain asks how or why. Analyse breaks it into parts and links them. Evaluate weighs strengths and weaknesses and reaches a judgement.

Command word	What the assessor wants	Common slip
Describe	Clear features or characteristics	Adding opinion where none is asked
Explain	How or why, with reasons	Describing without the "because"
Analyse	Parts, links and implications	Listing parts without linking them
Assess / Evaluate	Strengths, weaknesses and a reasoned judgement	No final judgement
Critically evaluate	Evaluation backed by evidence, with competing views weighed	One-sided argument
