Legalism became the official philosophy of the Qin Dynasty (221 - 206 BCE) when the first emperor of China, Shi Huangdi (r. 221-210 BCE), rose to power and banned all other philosophies as a corrupting influence. ... The excesses of the Qin Dynasty's legalism made the regime very unpopular with the people of the time.
The Legalists advocated government by a system of laws that rigidly prescribed punishments and rewards for specific behaviours. They stressed the direction of all human activity toward the goal of increasing the power of the ruler and the state.
There are different ways of selecting candidates to choose the best for that position and one of the selection process is called compensation scoring.
Comparative scoring is used for the candidate (s) who fail more than what fails him. For example, if a candidate evaluates three different tests and the candidate fails one of the three and pass the remaining two tests.
If the selectors still select such a candidate for the role, that means the candidate is selected based on compensation scoring.
