In response to growing interest in identifying the factors which are irrelevant to the ability being measured in oral interviews, this study aimed to explore the gender effect of the people involved in the interviews including raters, test-takers, and interviewers. Gender has been seen as one of the factors which affect test performances in spoken interactions during the interviews. 19 Korean university students (seven females and 12 males) were interviewed, once by a male and once by a female. All interviews were videotaped and scored by 17 raters (10 females and seven males). The scores were analyzed using the multi-faceted Rash measurement. The findings from the analysis were as follows. First, the male raters were more lenient in scoring than the female raters. Secondly, there was no significant variation in test-taker performances although the male test-takers performed better than the female test-takers. Thirdly, the male raters were significantly biased against the female test-takers. They consistently scored the female test-takers more leniently. Lastly, test performances were not meaningfully affected by whether their interviewer was of the same or opposite gender.
