Imagine you are a teacher in outer-space. You get two new students. One is named Wall-e and the other is Eve. As the teacher, you have to grade your students. Which student would you give an A?
Wall-e?
or Eve?
First of all, how did you grade your students? Maybe you noticed that Wall-e was messy and would probably make a bad student. What about Eve? She was so graceful, clean, and quiet. Maybe you felt she would make a great student!
The Halo Effect is when you grade someone based on their messiness or their angelic (acting like an angel) nature.
Chances are that you proved this by picking the "angelic" Eve to get an A instead of the "messy" Wall-e.
