The employee self-evaluation ensures that employees prepare thoughtfully for their performance development planning or appraisal meeting with their manager. 1  It provides a useful opportunity for the employees to seriously consider their level of performance and contribution.
Humours. In early accounts of human physiology, a person's physical and mental disposition was thought to be governed by a combination of fluids, or humours, within the body. Four humours were recognized: blood, phlegm, choler (also called yellow bile), and melancholy (also called black bile or black choler).
Clarke's new theory of humour could also provide the basis for an increased understanding of human cognitive functions: The development of pattern recognition as displayed in humour could also form the basis of humankind's instinctive linguistic ability. Syntax and grammar function in fundamental patterns for which a child has an innate facility.
