Abstract: One of the advantages of the PROMETHEE I method is to bring out such incomparability's. Incomparability mostly means that the analysis of the decision problem does not permit to identify a relation of overall preference or indifference between two or more alternatives. Since, in this paper we intend to use of these properties to examination of the some of Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) method (i.e., PROMETHEE II, AHP, TOPSIS, and ELECTRE) behaviors versus incomparability. It is hardly possible to evaluate the behavior of the various MADM models versus incomparability. Because, the different model reflects a different approach to solve the same decision problems. Therefore, we proposed an empirically testable index Distance of rank positions. Then, the different MADM method behaviors are examined. The results indicated that, the solution provided by AHP is more effective than others.
