Abstract. In this paper, the Characteristic Objects Method (COMET) was used to investigate the overestimation effect on the final rankings. The decision matrixes with a different number of alternatives and criteria were assessed The obtained results were compared using the WS similarity coefficient and Spearman's weighted correlation coefficient. The study showed that overestimation has a significant effect on the rankings. A larger number of criteria has a positive effect on the correlation strength of the compared rankings. In contrast, a large overestimation of characteristic values has a negative effect on the similarity of the results.
