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).
These latter four were the temperamental categories Galen named sanguine, choleric, melancholic and phlegmatic after the bodily humors, respectively. Each was the result of an excess of one of the humors that produced, in turn, the imbalance in paired qualities.
